The office have been absolutely great at supporting me and getting me involved in as much as possible.

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

    • Massively. I will be able to take the research skills gained as well as my general knowledge of the sector gained during this week to assist me in research and my dissertation. Outside of this, it has really cemented my choice of what area of property i would like to go into when I graduate.
