    The Role

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

    • Excellent work experience, wasn't just treated like any other intern, instead seemed as if you were a graduate employee, given the same tasks and levels of responsibility (if not more).

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

    • Wide variety of sessions ran during the induction week, skills taught in all sessions (e.g. MS Excel & Presentation Workshop) will benefit me for years to come.

    • Expenses are covered by the company when on an out-of-town project, however London itself is not cheap.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London is great. One of my roles was in Leeds, which also has good nightlife.

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

    • Opportunity to join different sports clubs, groups and societies whilst with the firm. If there isn't a club for the activity in which you wish to partake, there is always the opportunity to start one yourself.
