  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Have had a high amount of responsibility from the start, which has given me fantastic experience and is a great confidence boost. Doing the same job that everyone else is doing, so dont feel like a placement student, more like a full time employee

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • An invaluable experience, being given so much responsibility has helped my self belief and confidence, as well as developing a lot of skills, mainly data analysis and decision making. Have had lots of training in a wide range of areas which has been very beneficial. Having experience of working in a competitive industry will help massively with my final year studies, as i will have many real life examples to back up the theories
