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

    • I believe that although the placement was not directly related to my degree it will help me in related areas in my final year. I have really enjoyed the placement and feel that it would be a career that I would like to pursue after graduation.
