    • Future employment prospects are looking really good at the moment. They help you to apply internally to the graduate scheme. Previous IP students have also been hired back.

    • The students were constantly organising socials and my colleagues did also occasionally organise socials.

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

    • The exact area of the office was not very good for socialising. However it is really near to central London which means socialising has been really good.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again, the exact area of my office did not have a very good nightlife but London which is really near by certainly does.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There are opportunities to get involved in a lot of volunteering as well as sports.
