Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Given huge responsibility, even from the beginning. This made me feel like a valued member of the team who everyone could trust. As I went further into my placement, I was given more responsibility and the chance to take on my own projects which I could lead and coordinate. I never felt like I had nothing to do which was a good thing.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I really enjoyed my placement and would recommend it to anyone thinking of doing one. It gives you an array of skills to be able to go back to university with and gives you great experience. It gives me more confidence when leaving university and applying to grad roles that I have already done a year in industry vs people that are leaving university without any experience.
