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

    • In terms of skills applicable to my degree, it was more about seeing the law in practice than anything. However, the placement has certified for me that I want to build my career in an International law firm.

    5/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Everyone was very honest and open as to saying 'this may not be the right place for you - you need to get experiences and decide'. I think a lot of people will have appreciated this honesty.

    5/5

    • All day every day!

    5/5
