  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Really loved my time here. I thought it was really enjoyable - the work I got to do was meaningful and I got to meet so many new people - friends for life. It was definitely worth it.

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

    • I came into the internship wanting to improve my communication skills. I think I have definitely done that and it is a skill that I will definitely in later life. I also picked up many new skills which will also be useful.

    The Culture

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