    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • From the basic day to day admin tasks to complex problem solving activities this placement offered a great variety of activities. This is great for developing a really wide range of skills to take back to uni with you. Sometimes you’re analysing data, preparing for presentations, organising events like conferences, working with other interns on the “intern collaboration project “
