    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • This placement was like a full time job, not an internship. We were treated as full time members of staff and not as admin students etc.

    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 professional skills I have developed in this year are invaluable. I am confident about gaining a grad scheme or full time job after this.
