    The Role

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

    • Very dependant on your project. I have had a mixture of good and bad projects. It is what you make it, you have to work hard and network to get onto the best projects.

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

    • Generally yes, however as interns are cheap resources I sometimes felt a bit overlooked.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I have had some great managers and mentors who have played an active role in my development and are still advising me on career options.

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

    • Sometimes extremmly busy, somethimes very quite. Again depends on the project.

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

    • In my roles I was given a lot of responsibility. In a couple of roles I has the lead in certain areas.

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

    • I have learnt a lot of key skills in my year whilst on the job, this is something I will take forward with me. I am positive that having done this placement I am now far more employable.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Several organised socials throughout the year, normally 1 a year. Really enjoyed them all and we had a chance to choose where we went for socials.

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

    • I lived at home and commuted so fairly cheap.

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

    • Brilliant, just a bit expensive. Generally out of town projects have a better social scene, especially if you are with other interns.

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

    • I attended 2 ski trips, played squash and football, got involved in a research project etc. There are plenty of opportunities, you just have to take them.
