Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There were no duties as of such, in fact I was given free reign to meet the researchers , learn about their projects and conduct my own.
The fact that it was laid back was great for me as I was very motivated to do my own things there and i greatly benefitted from gaining skills and knowledge from the researchers!

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I got to understand what it's like to work in further studies in academia, and to see first-hand what a research lab is really like, which is something new to me as i have already worked various jobs in different industries.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to University of Plymouth
Dont overlook the very valuable chance of a micro-internship! If you have a job or family troubles at home and cannot commit the extra year for a full internship, you can gain so much confidence, experience and knowledge which will help in study, job application and self-image.
