Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I really enjoyed the internship. The quality of teaching was high, and the wider team were incredibly welcoming and always willing to help. The downside was that we weren’t told the internship does not flow into the graduate scheme, which likely would have discouraged the cohort from accepting this internship over others. However, after completing the internship, I will gladly apply to the graduate scheme externally.
