The Role
I loved my placement in the marketing department as a lot of it involved designing and creating marketing material.
5/5
Always felt valued, never felt as if I was just a placement student as i had real responsibilities and my views were listened to and taken on board.
5/5
Although there is a lot of free reign when it comes to design work etc, management are always there to help out if I have any issues.
5/5
It can vary greatly depending on what projects the marketing department are working on, its mainly pretty busy but there have been a couple of slow periods however there is always something that can be done,
4/5
This role has a lot of responsibilities, there isn't someone constantly checking up on you, you are trusted to get on with your tasks and are given a lot of freedom when it comes to incorporating your own ideas.
5/5
I really want to work in marketing in a similar role after I graduate so for me it was a very beneficial year, I now understand what sort of jobs are available in marketing.
5/5
The Company
There's a pretty relaxed atmosphere in the office, everyone is really nice and chatty.
4/5
Very well organised, lots of opportunities and chances to work on things that interest you.
4/5
I had a two week handover from the previous student, which was more than enough as I already had a background in photoshop, photography and design work.

4/5
There is a graduation which I would consider as it sounds like a great scheme, however I am pretty set on working in marketing, which I am aware has no roles available currently for graduates as it is a small department.
3/5
The Culture
Great social scene as there are so many other placement students, I lived with 5 other girls on placement and there was a boys house too as well as a few that lived near by, we have done things like nights out, rounders in the park, going for meals, bowling, zoo trips, beach trips and so on.
5/5
Living cost was cheap compared to back home, everything else was pretty standard.
4/5
Great nightlife! lots of clubs with all different types of music, have seen artists like Blonde and Hannah Wants in Switch and then there is Jesters which is a must do!
5/5
Not with work but with the other students yes
