    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I always had my own piece of work to attend to so I felt plenty of responsibility towards what I was doing.

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

    • I gained more confidence and picked up skills I did not even realise I was picking up, and they will help me throughout my career and into later life.

    5/5

    The Company

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Organisation lacked sometimes when it came to keeping busy and being given work, however most of the time it was well organised and the socials were also very enjoyable.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I liked them so much, I got a job with them!

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Deloitte organised socials for the Summer Vacation Scheme students which were fun but we did not organise anything off our own backs.

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

    • I lived at home so no money needed for living. Going out in the area was also relatively cheap.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The town had about 2 clubs and we never felt the need to step foot in them once. The most nightlife the town had was a few pubs, which were ok.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Always had emails through inviting us to things but as it was only a summer internship, we did not have the chance to get involved in much.
