    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my time at GSK, there was alot of social activities and a great IPUnite community within GSK to encourage networking within the IP students.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The people were very friendly and treat students with the same respect as any other member of staff

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

    • Members of my team tried to help me with all the tasks i had but at the same time encouraged me to try and become more independent. If i struggled with anything there was always someone in the team to help me or find someone outside of the team to give me the help i needed.

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

    • I think that depends on the team you work with. My team was working on multiple projects during my internship and I played a part in all the different projects which is why I was always busy, however the team take into account how much you can manage and work with you to balance your workload.

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

    • I was given the opportunity to manage a project near the end of my placement. This project gave me exposure to many opportunities and allowed me to develop my project management skills.

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

    • I requested training during my internship which i was required to justify and explain how it would add value to the team and help me develop my skills. if you can justify why you need the training then it helps with getting approval.
