Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I always felt as though I could ask someone for help if I didn't know what I was doing, so I have felt supported throughout my internship. I was also able to ask lots of questions about the background to the work I was doing as well as just working independently on part of a project. I was given an overview of all the different pillars in the department and what happens in each.
