    • 4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Support was normally quite regular. It dipped at times due to people having other work to do, but the quality of the support was excellent.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • At times I didn't have much to do, particularly at the start. But I soon had enough work to be doing. Had a lot of work in the last few weeks trying to tie everything off.

    The Culture

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