Yes, I was given the responsibility of designing posters on Canva for publication on the company website. I was also given the responsibility of conducting research that will be used to make informed decisions for future projects.

I was given support from the beginning right through to the end of my internship. This is one of the strong points of the ABDN Internship scheme, where students are matched as best as possible regarding their interests and that each intern is always supported no matter the circumstances.

The company culture was very refreshing and supportive. After my internship ended, I was invited to one of their board meetings to give a short presentation about my internship experience. This opportunity further developed my interpersonal skills and gave me an overview of the different personalities within the company. It was a great presentation; they had a lot of questions, and I was happy to share with them my experience.

It was absolutely enjoyable! I was outside in the warm summer sunshine, seeing the wide diversity of plants and insects in this area of Scotland. I saw lakes, swans and ducks. I did all this while learning so much. If I had the chance to do this internship again, I definitely would!

Yes

Be prepared to be immersed in the life of the campus. The Student Union has an event for everyone! The clubs and societies are very diverse, and overall, outside of the classroom, you will have a great time on campus. The level of teaching is refined, and the level of academic support is extremely commendable. The Sir Duncan Rice Library is spectacular, and you will make a lot of friends there. Have fun!
