    The Role

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

    • This was the best internship from the rest. I found that the other internships on the market don't offer the amount of freedom, opportunity to learn or exposure to real client communication on such a frequent basis.

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

    • Everyone was super helpful and always willing to help. Even though I was not from a Software development background I was supported throughout the course of the internship while working on meaningful projects.

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

    • The opportunity taught me not only specialised skills but also soft skills useful in all careers. The opportunity to travel abroad and present our work was also a massive plus.
