    The Role

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

    • The internship was a very positive experience, it allowed me to have a good insight into the business, and a great opportunity to meet people of all levels of seniority.

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

    • We were given the opportunity to produce work that was of real use to the business and would be used with clients, which made us feel valued, rather than simply updating internal databases for ten weeks!

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

    • I found that managers were approachable and very willing to give their time to interns and help with questions and advice.

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

    • Despite it being over the summer months, we were very busy, but this comes in phases over the ten weeks.

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

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

    • I do not study a finance degree, so it may not be useful for my course. But I have learnt alot of technical and practical skills which will help me in my future career.
