    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed the placement, had the opportunity to learn new things. Worked on various projects that were really interesting, had the opportunity to see how the projects I work on operate in real time in client meetings and on site.

    5/5

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

    • During the my internships my skill set was tested and developed immensely. My attention to detail has improved and this will useful whilst studying law, especially during my dissertation. Building on my excel skills, using applications such as one note, has helped and will continue to help with my organisation.

    • Relaxed

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

    • It wasn't too structured, but the lack of structure allowed for you to venture out and do things that you were interested in. The lack of structure also provided you with the ability to learn about about the different teams within operations consulting and Arup as a whole.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They hope for you to get the most out of the internship. There's a buddy system, which allows for you to have someone that you can turn to and that will guide you during your time there. Multiple invites to lunch and learns, allows insight into different skills and knowledge about the company.
