    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Good time management, very organised. The talks contain a lot of useful information and Q&A parts. Staff and organisers are patient, friendly and helpful. Good accommodation and convenient transport. Have clear objectives for each session and the whole insight programme. I would recommend the program to friends and other students.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I think the impression I got from talks and Q&As is the degree does not limit your future development as long as you are always willing to learn. It provided useful information on CV writing and interview preparations so these will become useful to me in my job hunting after University.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The time management was very good. We had enough for each session to startup and finish. There were also sufficient time for questions and networking. The organisers were always clear about our schedule so we had enough time to prepare and get to the event location. Overall it has been successful.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. Everyone has been encouraged to join in the conversation and to ask any questions they want. Although the schedule was busy but it does not feel very intense. We were encouraged to do group work during sessions so we get to know other candidates as well.
