    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    4/5

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

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I think I was given enough responsibility, but not too much. I am an intern and I am here to learn, so I need more time before being exposed to clients or things like that. My team is however really quick in giving you responsibility.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I learned a lot of things that can be useful in my future career. An internship is the right step between university and a job, because it exposes you to the job world but you're still learning a lot.

    4/5
