    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • A brilliant company in which to develop your University degree

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • All permanent staff are very friendly, they favour having Undergraduates as our wages are covered by training and not by them; therefore all work is essentially free to them

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • All supervisors I had regularly helped and guided me in the tasks I was given. The more help I received, the less I would have to ask for it.

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

    • Depending on the task you can always have something to do, or other tasks may require a little more change in direction.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The work Undergraduates do is absorbed by the department and decisions are made based on the work I did.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My engineering knowledge has greatly increased and I firmly expect my marks at University to increase.
