    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?
  • 4/5

    Culture

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I very much enjoyed my placement, I think there are certain areas for improvement (particularly the onboarding process where I felt a bit lost for a while at the beginning of my placement). Also, I often found my work and responsibility of my team to not be directly related to chemical engineering.
