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

    • I think the ability to work well in a team will be a great use for the rest of my degree in group work, my organisational and time-management skills will enable me to be more efficient and stay on top of my work, and I also think that my ability to work independently has greatly improved and will be of use in the rest of my degree too.
