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

    • There was always plenty of work for me to be getting on with, I never found myself with nothing to do. At the same time, I haven't been over-worked, the hours are flexible and it's about making sure I meet deadlines agreed with my supervisor; how I do that is up to me.

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

    • Given plenty of opportunity to learn - not only around the area of my project but I've also undertaken training courses in presentation skills, touch-typing and engineering software. A lot of what I have learnt here I hope to use in my career.
