    The Role

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

    • I really enjoy my work placement, I like it more and more every week! It has beaten my expectations and willl be sad to leave.

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

    • Everyone is really friendly and you get a good amount of responsibility which gives you confidence and grows your ability. The team are always supporting you and want to help you get the most out of the time you have on placement.

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

    • We have regular catch ups on a weekly basis where we review what I have on, what else I would like to be getting involved in and to answer any questions I may have. I do however get support / guidance throughout the day but catch ups are good to run through objectives and focus on things that I may want to particularly talk about in more detail.

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

    • Very busy! You are given a good amount of work and also can make your job your own. There is always something for me to be getting on with.

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

    • Quite a lot which is really good for confidence, extending your knowledge and building skills. I didn't realise the amount of responsibility you would be given but it has been really benefical.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It had already helped give me direction in which path I want to take in my career and has given me an idea of what I would like to do my dissertation on. I feel I have learnt more in the space of 6 months than my time at uni! Seeing and being in the real world really makes things a lot clearer!
