    The Role

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

    • I felt the work I was given was meaningful, but wasn't so complex that I couldn't complete my task

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My team were lovely and really welcoming

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

    • I was given an outline of what to achieve, but it was up to me how to do it. I feel this was good as it encouraged me to research and ask questions

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was tasked to complete 3 hours of work a day. Some days I had intern events and so didn't meet this and others I completed a lot more. I felt this was good as I did a lot of research to understand what I was working on.

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

    • Just enough to be responsible for my code, but making sure it didn't affect anything else

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My programming improved greatly so this will help with university
