  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to GSK

    • Don't be afraid to ask questions. Enjoy your placement year and say yes to opportunities, you never know what you will get out of it. GSK also doesn't offer graduate offers to placement students, though you get fast-tracked (without having to do the World of GSK assessment) when applying to their grad roles.
