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

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

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I wasn't given much responsibility, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing though as they were letting me get used to the system and learn about some of the applications that we use. No one would be given a lot of responsibility in my role to start with.

    3/5

    • I further increased my knowledge in a number of skills that will benefit me with my studies and my future. I feel like I learnt a lot during my time here.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I thought it was very well organized, I would have liked to have known a little bit more about my section before I started though. Also a trip to one of the front end offices would have been beneficial.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • There was but I struggled to be part of it as I wasn't living in the accommodation with most of them. I have built up a good social network with quite a few of them though and everyone is pretty easy to get on with.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived from home so it was cheap for me. Generally the area is pretty average, I wouldn't say it was cheap or expensive.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife in Bournemouth is quite good, there are a variety of good clubs.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were a few but the placement is only 10 weeks so it is hard to fit everything in.
