The Role
As a Savills Summer Scheme Student, I was in the Commercial Agency Team and thoroughly enjoyed my time here.
4/5
I felt really valued, whenever I helped individuals in the team I was always thanked.. I made the most of the opportunities given, such as getting involved with extra curricular activities eg football, which enhanced the overall experience as I met many different colleges across the office. This helped with team bonding.
5/5
Overall, really good guidance. Great support and very inclusive. All questions were always welcomed.
4/5
I was always offered opportunities to go on site visits and inspections, playing a role in client interactions and then following up with admin and research.
3/5
I would say I was given a fair amount of responsibility, for example interacting in client meeting and asking questions where appropriate.
3/5
Definitely a useful month for developing skills for my course, Real Estate Management. I also think it would be beneficial for non- cog students looking for an insight into the property industry.
4/5
The Company
Generally really friendly and welcoming. In the kitchen, even people I didn't know would try and get to know me and vice-versa.
4/5
I understand that a regional office is perhaps more relaxed in approach, but better introduction to Savills as a company may have made the experience better. Otherwise v good.
3/5
They were really good at putting time aside for me, and even invited me to Savills Head Office in London for the day as i expressed an interest.
4/5
Sports and Social Club
If looking regionally, they would be second to none. I am looking for a London Grad Scheme. If you impress, this placement definitely helps with that. They can offer places to London Recruitment lunches off the back of this placement.
4/5
The Culture
As regionally, there were few other interns, but actually it meant you could socialise with fellow colleges which was fun and for networking purposes it was really useful.
3/5
Oxford is known to be one of the least affordable places to live in the UK, but having said that, compared to London on a previous internship with another company, I have saved a lot more money here.
2/5
Few students around in Oxford during August, so compared to term time the nightlife was a little limited. However, plenty of places to go out / socialise after work, so i would say overall good.
3/5
Yes, my team were great at letting me know about other opportunities such as Tennis, Football, Cricket, which I made sure I tried to get involved in.
