    The Role

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

    • Really enjoyed. Was welcomed to the team straight away and was given responsibility on my own project which was great. Met a lot of interesting people.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Very much so. The work I was doing was work they had tried to do before so wasn’t given a project that was just for an intern. Everyone was very friendly and people were interested in my work.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I enjoyed having responsibility of my own project and it was good to have to think for myself but when I need to ask a question I felt that I could without feeling a like I was interrupting.

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

    • I always had enough to get on with apart from a few days at the beginning where it was a bit slow.

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

    • I had my own project under direction from seniors but had plenty of opportunity to input my own opinions and ideas

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Improved my excel skills but also plenty of research skills that will be useful for dissertation work. Also definitely improved my personal skills
