Overview
My role can be split up into office and lab work or a bit of both day-to-day. In the office I reply to the emails, sit on the meetings regarding new projects and write reports. In the lab I carry out experiments regarding particle size, shape or other physical and chemical properties, using techniques such as pXRD, DSC, NIR and others.
Skills
Yes, I have improved my presentation and critical thinking skills. I have also learnt to write better reports and got trained on a lot of new techniques that I did not know before such as pXRD or QicPic.
Responsibilities
Yes, I have even been allowed to draft a report and carry out my own projects, that normally only project leads do.
Support & Guidance
My line manager at the company was extremely helpful and helped to overcome all of the problems.
Culture
Very good, everyone supports equity and diversity across the team. If you had a problem you could go to anyone in the team and know that you would receive help from them.
Your Impressions
I have really enjoyed my placement and would love to come back to the team once I have graduated.
Yes
Be ready to work hard and long but know that at the end it all pays off and you will be greeted by an amazing bunch of people, who are diverse and inclusive.
