    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

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

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

    • I found I would be as busy as I wanted to be, perhaps if I wasn't as motivated to pursue the work I could've been sat doing nothing.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The nature of the industry requires specialist skills so there wasn't much responsibility that could be given.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It gave me a good insight into the company, however most of the skills learned were industry specific, so would't assist me as much in my degree.
