    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • we initially spent our induction week from all the placement students in the UK and Ireland which included a social activity at the end of most days, many of which were organised and paid for by the firm. At the end of the year we were treated to a "goodbye" party which was a boat ride between Embankment and North Greenwich including a meal and drinks. There were also a few social events purely for placement students throughout the year.
