    The Role

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

    • The placement was very well organised; I was able to work on a variety of companies and got the opportunity to go to London for a week. The people were also really friendly and welcoming.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My supervisors were always free for any queries I and responded quickly to my emails. When we were preparing our project for the directors, our supervisor was incredibly helpful in giving us advice and support.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was given enough work to do that I was not bored and if there was no client work to do then I worked on the project we had been set. There were busier and quieter times but on the whole the workload was the right balance.

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

    • As my placement progressed I was given more and more responsibility which I enjoyed.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have accepted a job offer with Ernst & Young so the skills I developed will be very useful!
