    The Role

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

    • There were quite a few enjoyable social events, and in the second half of my placement the team made a large effort to make me feel welcome. However the first half of my project was remote, and so I did not meet any colleagues face-to-face.

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

    • I felt like I was given a lot of responsibility and that my contributions were always valued.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • There was always a support system in place to provide guidance, particularly early on in a project, although at times people were very busy.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There were times when I had almost nothing to do, and times when I had far too much to cope with, though I think this is the nature of the work.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a great deal of responsibility, particularly in the second half of my placement.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I learnt weren't particularly relevant to my degree but will be very important to my future career.
