The Role
The placement has been brilliant. I have gained so much practical experience and confidence in myself and my abilitys in the lab.
I was immediately given a lot of responsibility, this made me feel like my work was appreciated. It felt my team were confident in my ability's.
I had lots of guidance and support from my manager and my team. If I ever had a question I felt comforatble asking for help.
I was constantly busy, I enjoyed managing my time between the lab and office. I often asked for additonal work on the more quiet days.
I was given lots of responsibilty to complete my project.
I feel the experience here will really help me in my final year and in the future.
