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

    • I was given more responsibility than I had imagined, the last two months of my placement I was completing my own tasks and purely feeding information back to my supervisors to keep them informed. This was extremely interesting for me.

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

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
