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

    • I learnt something you cannot learn in university and thats business culture. Working in such a large, dynamic tech company I have seen changing strategies and how these have affected business opertions and it really has been interesting. At uni you ostly learn about theroies and I find it rather dull, its when I see these theories applied in a real-time business enviroment that I can fully understand and appreciate them.
