    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The Project was quite challenging and I think there is more room for improvement

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Everyone works independently. If you do not ask or go around you will be left on your own.

    3/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • A lot of guidance was given, but like I stated previously, you have to ask for it.

    4/5

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I did most of the work myself, including making contacts with vendors and so on.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • the Skill will be very useful, though perculiar to BP, but it has given me an insight into what Major Accident Risk Assessment is all about and I believe the skill will be useful in other Oil&Gas industries.
