    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I've never worked in an office before so it helped me understand what it would be like to start working after I graduate. I also learnt some good time management and organisation techniques which I could use in my degree studies.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Great banter in the office that the interns were included in. Grads also invited us on nights out which were all really fun. Everyone was really friendly, no matter at what grade, they would always be up for a coffee and a chat or to help you with your work.

    • Only issue was the amount of work going around.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Very good social scene. The grads in my department would go out for a drinks a lot and invite the interns with them.

    • I lived at home but the canteen wasn't very expensive.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There was a football team that I know one of the interns got involved in.
