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

    • I've definitely gained and developed more skills in my year internship than I have at any point today, and they definitely make me feel more equipped for my final year at uni as well as beyond

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Even though it is pricier, the nightlife in London is second to none and the amount of bars and pubs in Hammersmith is huge

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

    • We had a Summer event as well as some other fun activities, often around film releases or major sports events
