Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed my placement to a decent extent. The work was fulfilling and meaningful which contributed to my enjoyment. There were also countless opportunities to try other fields and departments work to best workout what you wanted to do in the future. However, there was a repetitive element to the work in which it would've been nice to get more ad-hoc tasks.

What advice would you give to others applying to Volkswagen Group UK
Place a strong emphasis on your presentation for the assessment centre as this holds a decent bit of weighting in the decision. Be comfortable presenting it before you arrive. Furthermore, if you succeed in getting the job then try hard to network as it opens up lots of opportunities.
