    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed it overall however at times some of the research I was doing was not completely aligned with my own interests. However I was allowed to work autonomously and had a great deal of variety.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I worked in two teams; both teams made me feel very welcome and I enjoyed socialising with them both in and out of work.

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

    • My managers were always very supportive: occasionally it was difficult to get in contact with one of my managers as he travelled a lot however he always responded eventually and I was always provided with other points of contact.

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

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given ownership of my own projects.

    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 a lot of soft skills that will be helpful both on a day to day basis, and also in my future career. I found my placement was not really related to my degree (mathematics) at all, however I was not expecting it to be and this suited me.

    4/5
