I feel the University support could be improved somewhat however, that is well expected with large Universities.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I feel the current degree does not provide an accurate representation or correlation in what I do in my day to day job however, TFL are working with us to rectify that.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
