Regular 1 on 1 learning's, feedback and advice. This support was really appreciated, and helped me to reflect and improve and also learn about higher level processes that as an intern I would otherwise not have exposure to, giving me a better idea about how the company works on a macro level.

I had full control of my responsibilities and projects, to improve them if I saw fit and to carry them out from start to finish. You are given a lot of trust, and at times people depend on you which gives you a real sense of pride, feeling valued and appreciated.

I learnt more on this placement than in my entire academic life - the skills are invaluable and gained through jumping in at the deep end. These skills make me feel confident about returning to university and prepared for future jobs prospects.
