    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I have done 3 internships in total at three different firms, and I have to say the PwC internship was the best one by far. I got to travel, meet some really great people and really feel I was contributing to current work.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt it was really easy to talk to my colleagues, and noticed that when you showed an interest they were always willing to give you more responsibilities.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • In the internship we were really encouraged to ask questions at all times, I never felt that I could not ask for help or support.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was generally busy, which was great as it made the day go really fast. Though, there were also some days were there was not much to do, on these day you just had to show initiative and go and look for work.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • During my internship, I improved my skills of working under pressure, networking and learnt a lot more about insurance. These skills will be particularly helpful as I specialise in the insurance field.
