    • i have learnt so much since I started my placement, and feel I have been pushed (in a good way) to organise my personal development. my work is complimenting my degree studies,as well as going above and beyond.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I would say that is one thing that could be improved. There was another student in my team who I got along with great, but we have never been introduced to the other placement students in the business. It might be useful to organise a social group for all the placement students to meet and get together.
