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

    • I really enjoyed the environment within the bank and the people I worked with. Confirmed that I want to work in finance/bank. Sometimes I feel like I could be challenged more or would have liked to experience more of a range

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

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

    • I feel a lot more comfortable in my financial knowledge and understand a lot more of what goes on within the workings of a bank and how all the different sectors link. I am a lot more confident in myself which I think has been the best improvement which can help be more "go-getting" in all aspects of my life
