    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The summer internship has been an incredible, character building experience. It was very challenging and intense with many highs and lows but overall I could not have wished for a better 2.5 months. I have met some incredible people, worked on very interesting projects and developed both academically and as a person.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • The team I was with was very supportive and friendly. They made me feel like I belonged from the first day and I have developed some close relationships with some of my colleagues. The HR is also very supportive and is always there to answer any questions you may have.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The supervisors were very supportive and gave me constant feedback on how to improve. They were always available for clarifications and further explanations. They also organised lunches and events to get to know the team which was very helpful in feeling welcomed.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There were many different tasks and projects to be involved in. There was always something to do and a lot to learn. The tasks included a great balance and diversity of skills and I could not have asked for a better taste of what the job is like full time.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • A few weeks into the program I was given a lot of responsibility in helping out with the projects. Of course this responsibility was given gradually after showing commitment and improvement.
