Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK
Do not be affriad to jump in at the deep end, especially if your background knowlege is not great to start with you will soon pick up what the company culture and main targets are. Applying for challenging jobs may be daunting but I would do the year again in a heart beat. I have learnt more from this placement and my team than have in my first two years at university. The experience is unmatched.
