Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed my placement year and I would recommend anyone to take a year out to do this. It is extremely different from university and gives you great experience. I feel so much more at ease knowing I did a year in industry as I know what to kind of expect after my studies.
