Overview
My role is mainly desk-based and involves a lot of project management, coming up with study plans and revising reports.
Skills
Was able to develop my communication skills (verbal, written and visual). Got used to working within a diverse team and improved my critical thinking skills.
Responsibilities
I was given a lot of responsibility during my placement. I was able to lead my own research project with the support of my LM and team members.
Support & Guidance
I always had lots of support when I needed it. My LM and team have supported me through the entire year in matters related to my project and career progression. Apart from that, the placement team in BAT arranges monthly sessions, inductions and events that helped me develop my soft skills, network and learn more about the company. I also have a mentor and a 'buddy' as more informal points of contact.
Culture
The working environment at BAT Southampton is great. Everyone is very welcoming and keen on helping and collaborating.
Your Impressions
I have really enjoyed my placement at BAT. From the moment I started, my LM and colleagues made me feel very welcome and helped me integrate into the company. I had the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, explore different career paths and learn more about what it is like to work in industry.
