    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Extremely enjoyable, very interesting and flexible placement with people who were more than happy to allow me to shadow others or work independently. Really interesting department and the opportunties present allowed flexible days meaning no one day was the same.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Leeds isn't that expensive so not to bad, easily affordable especially considering you're paid weekly.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Leeds is a good uni city so the nightlife was available to you, but without the uni students there perhaps a little quieter than usual.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Plenty, loads of sporting opportunities available, teams on nights out etc.
