Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I really enjoyed my placement at Samsung. It gives a direct insight into a global company that your average university student wouldn’t get the opportunity to see and experience. I would advise any aspiring placement student to apply for this role as it was very rewarding.
