    The Role

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

    • Overall the internship has been very fun and my colleagues have made a comfortable environment for me. It has been very rewarding for me, helping to identify my career goals both within and outside of the group. My only complaint is that sometimes I am left with nothing to do, especially if my line manager is away.
