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

    • I have learnt a lot more at SAP in comparison to my two previous years at University in view of the fact that I have been presented with the chance of not just watching, learning and observing but in obtaining a practical hands-on experience which has ultimately enabled me to develop my transferable skills and further skills suited to my degree.
