    • Although very short, I could not have asked for a more pleasant environment.

    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)?

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

    • Not hugely busy, although this was partly because there was little time at a desk during which to be given work!

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Again, very difficult to be given much responsibility when you are only there for three days!

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

    • The information I have gained and opinions I have been given should be very valuable in the application process.
