    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Great placement - I really enjoyed myself. There was lots of varied work to do so there was never a dull moment. In addition, the placement was very rewarding in terms of experiance and exposure. I managed to work with some senior staff.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • There was a lot of support available for me. My manager was really helpful and we got on really well. If I had any questions around the task I was asked to do I could easily approach any member of my team and they would explain what I had to do. My collegues understood I was a student and that I would have lots of questions.

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

    • Very good. There are always Friday night drinks and the odd trip to hotels.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Windsor is reasonably expensive as a place to live but within a 15 min drive there are much cheaper places to live. Food isn't ridiculously expensive but drinks can be pricy. You soon suss out the cheaper places to drink. Much cheaper than London.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Very good, very busy at weekends and a good variety of bars.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Loads - after work drinks, trips to venues and a large group of other students to socialise with.
