    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I feel after my placement and returning back to my degree I am a lot more focussed and have a greater understanding of how to work to a brief for a specific customer and how all parts of the design process work and link to one another and why they are necessary. I also think that having experience in the industry already under my belt I feel better equipped for when I do graduate and have confidence to apply fro roles I may not have done previous to my placement.
