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

    • The training in my analysis field had nothing to do with my degree directly. However, the skills of the working life could be applied to my university course so I had a much better routine and drive throughout the last year.
