    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • You receive core training which is carried out with fellow intern students. You also receive job specific training. The internship year makes you not only more employable but also a potentially better employee.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We had a lot of fun together and were able to organise daily activities for ourselves whenever there was none organised by the firm. They were a great bunch of people and we all got on really well.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Was quite expensive to live for an intern like me there but worth the money

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

    • The night life was great but realistically you don't spend your nights evaluating the nightlife when on an internship.

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

    • Definitely because the ARM prides themselves on giving back to the community so there were outside activities.
