    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Working in such a big international company has given me chance to get involved and put all the theory I learnt at university into practice, I gained a wide and valuable range of skills that will help me for the rest of my life.I would recommend a placement to every student - without the experience I have gained from my placement at DePuy, I would not have gone into my final year with such confidence and determination to finish my degree. I have learnt much more than I imagined and it has boosted my confidence in both my skills and abilities.
