    The Role

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

    • A great place to do your placement year. You get to be exposed to real life projects, work alongside experienced employees, and get a chance to learn new skills and enhance existing ones. Also there is a lot of social activities both intern and employee ones.

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

    • I am sure any other student would feel themselves part of the family, however I am a bit odd and not very sociable. My team is great and I am very lucky to have met them and worked with them. If you get a chance to work in this team you will be very lucky.
