    The Role

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

    • It was a great learning experience and challenging as well.

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

    • Being part of a top class team might be scary but my colleagues offered their full support when needed and I felt like I had a contribution towards the final product, which is very rewarding.

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

    • Every time I needed to have a chat with either my line manager or engineering supervisor they were very helpful, supportive and caring about my overall industry experience.

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

    • I undertook a wide variety of tasks depending on business/team milestones. I think in general as dealing with projects and arising problems people will face a combination between very busy and normal pace times.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I am very happy with the responsibilities assigned. As soon as I showed my capability and enthusiasm to my team the task difficulty increased. This ultimately developed further my skills which is a great asset.

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

    • I recently started my 3rd year of studies as a returning student. I feel more confident as now I know how to address/approach a problem in a similar way as dealt with in real industry situations. One year in industry, especially with a top class engineering company as Rolls-Royce, forced me to stretch to the limits and get beyond my "comfort zone" where the real learning process starts.

    5/5
