    The Role

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

    • The work will be varied for everyone and every Intern will have a different experience, depending on the project you're put on. However, I really enjoyed my project and found it both interesting but challenging meaning that I learnt a lot and was never bored doing mundane tasks

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues were always very welcoming and happy to help and answer any questions I had. All my efforts were always appreciated no matter how small they were. Tasks as simple as updates the notice board with new graphs never went unnoticed

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

    • Everything was explained clearly every step of the way. Where someones I was left confused still, there was no issue in answering questions.

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

    • My project was quite complex so there was only so much repsonsiblity I could be given. However, when opportunities arose I was always given the chance

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

    • Definitely developed life long transferable skills, from understanding how the department works, gaining knowledge in the project I was involved in, to getting better at using excel. Variety of skills gained!
