    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • Having come into this programme with limited financial knowledge, the specific insight into each industry sector was very interesting

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Everyone in the company was always willing to help/answer questions no matter what they were

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • There was definitely enough guidance/support to be effective but I guess part of the programme is learning by yourself, taking initiative etc

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

    • It has given me a very valuable insight into finance, enabling me to find my prefences/ realise where my strengths lie. However, I have to say the one area I realised I was most interest in (market research) was only touched upon briefly.
