    The Role

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

    • Thoroughly enjoyed me placement. Though the department I worked is wasn't what I expected I really enjoyed the work and the company really invested in my personal and professional development.

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

    • I felt like a valued member of the team and my contributions were always acknowledged. I sometimes would of liked more responsibility.

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

    • All of the colleagues were supportive, not just my manager but everyone on site. There is a great culture around the Undergraduate community throughout the site.

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

    • Fluctuated, sometimes I was super busy and other times it was quiet.

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

    • The projects are often very long so its hard to give sole responsibility to somebody who will not be present for its entirety. Towards the end of the placement I definitely was given more responsibility and there is a lot of training initially.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • All the skills I can use in my degree. I used a totally different way of learning and perspectives. And was delivered training for skills that I didn't use day to day in my job but were definitely useful for my own personal professional development.

    5/5
