The Role
I had such a varied and rich experience that I was almost never bored!
The entire process built my character to an extent like never before, and I very much notice the difference.
My managers were always there to help me out and guide me when I needed them but there was also a good balance of independence and being told what to do.
It varied tremendously depending on the week.
Thankfully, not a huge deal for my first placement (which is a good thing). But I also knew that if I did a good job it would help the company so much.
To no end. The amount of things I learned from this internship is unbelievable.
The Company
Very relaxed, friendly and welcoming but also hard-working!
It was organised right from the start, but also gave me plenty of time to do what I wanted.
They gave me so much support and guidance that I don't think they could have done more short of a formal training program.

Only finished my first year so can't really answer this, but the programmes on offer are very appealing
The Culture
No, mostly because of the location. But within the office it was always fun!
No socialising, just because of the location! But the cost of living was pretty reasonable compared to university and the landlord was so nice!
