    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • I thought the work was pretty resourceful as it was applied to a real-life situation. I definitely learnt more case studies that I could include in my academic essays or even use as points of analysis in a future job. Some of the work the team was working on inspired some aspects of my dissertation and I built a good contact base with them if I ever needed help or advice on it. The company culture is very social and friendly. If I continue to consider real estate as a career path I would want to come back,
