The Role
Really enjoyed the placement. Given lots of responsibility very quickly and the work was very hands on which I liked.
Really felt part of the team even though I was only there for 12 weeks.
Where ever needed there was support.
Good balance. I was kept busy nearly all the time but it never felt like too much work.
Lots. This is what really made the placement good as straight away I was given repsonsibility for my work and research.
Learnt a lot from the experience for both studies and beyond.
The Company
Good balance of work and team spirit.
