    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • On the whole, really interesting and had a very enjoyable time

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • All the team were extremely welcoming and gave useful feedback, both positive and negative which allowed me to improve my work.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Everyone in the team was extremely helpful and more than happy to help and answer questions.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The project went through a relatively slow period for some of the time when we were there so there were days when we didn't have any assigned work to do.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I felt the right amount was given, anymore less and I would have felt that the work I was doing was not beneficial to the company.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Working in an office of that size and in a team of people that I had never met are extremely valuable skills to learn as early as possible. The analytical skills from the project are also useful for my proposed dissertation this coming year.

    4/5

    4/5

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