    The Role

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

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

    • As I had to complete a project within 10 - weeks time, I kept myself pretty busy. However, I knew other Summer Interns in different teams who had moments of not doing any work. I would say as long as you are eager to learn and try new things - and you ask for work - there will be plenty to do.

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

    • I was tasked with creating a platform that would make the work of roughly 1.8 - 2K people more efficient, so I'd say it was a very important task.

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

    • The skills developed from the placement did not really contribute to my degree, as I am studying Mech. Eng., and I was doing a Project Management role. However, I was able to learn about different aspects of PM, which contributes to my future career plans.

    4/5

    5/5

    • The internship did not have an exact structure. Your work will depend on the business area you'll be placed in, on the workload, on your line manager/ supervisor and on how much effort you will be putting.

    3/5

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

    • Really depends on everyone's perception of "expensive/ cheap". My opinions is costs are decent/ great - especially in comparison with London.

    4/5

    • Birmingham offers plenty of options for nightlife.

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

    • The office had couple of clubs. Also, some teams/ groups of people get together certain days of the week after work to play badminton, football, tennis, etc. Moreover, various events get organized quite often.
