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

    • The placement with ASOS massively helped my degree and more importantly, my understanding of Fashion Buying as a whole. At University you predominantly learn the theory, whereas in ASOS you learn the practicality of what you have been taught. The team helped to assist me with coursework throughout my placement year and since leaving are helping me with my dissertation.
