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

    • Again, given my inexperience it was difficult to overburden me with duties but I felt as if an effort was made to give me a taste of what the role involves.

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

    • I am certain that it will have been a worthwhile exercise, both as an instructive insight into what an actuary does and as an opportunity to meet people within the industry.
