  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills and training I have received through the year have been invaluable. All these experiences will be really important for my final year of University through understanding the practical examples of what I have learnt in my first two years. It has also put me in a good position by having a year of experience within the Technology industry for after I graduate.
