    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was involved with some important projects and felt like I was really helping the team. Obviously I couldn't take front-facing roles as an intern but I was definitely part of the process.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • In terms of my degree, engineering doesn't have any relevance with fine art insurance. For life in general, it has taught the importance of keeping good relationships with customers

    4/5
