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

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

    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 learnt what real engineering was. Finally I could actually relate my theoretical knowledge to practice and do something! After this internship I see this engineering world in a slightly different way.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We had intern's day, picnic and trip to Cambridge centre organised just for us - interns. We all knew each other and would go for lunch together or even sometimes to a pub after work.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The office I worked in was based in Stonehouse. There's not much socialising one could do, however most people lived in Glaucester and Cheltenham. There are plenty of pubs and different things to do for everyone! Some people even lived in Bristol - which is probably the best if you like active city life.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Stonehouse is a quiet little village whith no nightlife.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • People organise get togethers, go climbing or do something else fun!
