    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

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

    • I feel as though I have learned more over this 12 months than I had from 2 years at university. Learning hands on is a much more effective way for me to get to grips with the job role.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Quite expensive but it is London so that is to be expected. The local pubs though are great.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London is a great night out although expensive. There is so many different places to go and the city centre is easily accessible from pretty much anywhere.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Volunteering, event days, etc. There were lots of activities to take a part in if you had the time and put in the effort.
