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

    The Culture

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

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I was living and working in London which was very expensive. I was given a bonus for moving to London which helped pay some of my expenses.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were lots of sports teams and clubs, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to make the most of these!
