    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 time at Airbus developed not only me skills but my self confidence. I am now looking forward to entering into my next job with the awareness to a working environment. I also feel much more determined to achieve in my final year than I did before my placement.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The interns met up regularly and it would be my recommendation for future interns to push to do this. It made the whole year much more enjoyable and wouldn't of been the same if we didn't have such a good intern community.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It was more than where I am from and I lived on my own which made it more expensive however if sharing it's not too bad. Well worth the expense though.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It was really good! Small but much better.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes there were lots of opportunities for those wanting to take part. Gym, Football, Fitness Classes ,social Club and much more.
