    5/5

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

    • I was given one long term task to do as well as shorter tasks throughout the internship, this meant that if at anytime I finished the immediate task I was working on, I could revert back to the longer term project.

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

    • As my team were so busy, the longer term project I was given was solely my own work and was just checked by my supervisor at the end. This made me feel like I was really helping and contributing to the team.

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

    • The internship I undertook led to a fast track interview and a few months later an early job offer, this meant I did not have to go through any other application processes and that I could concentrate on my studies.

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

    • We were out and about every week.
