    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs/colleagues?
  • On the internship programme as well as the graduate challenger years I have heard that the social life is excellent, and that there are many activities to help everyone to make friends.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • It was in Sunbury, so I hazard a guess that it's an expensive area (not that I had chance to test this on my day.)

  • I don't know, I was only there for one day.

    0/5
