Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
The day to day role involves working on multiple projects, talking with stakeholders and planning your resource allocation.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I do enjoy the programme as I am involved in projects I didn't think were possible. The university side does lack a bit due to the organisation
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, there has been a lot of technical skills which are improved, alongside personal/professional skills and behaviours. Also learn the theory behind Project Management and new tools/techniques.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The BAE side of the programme is well structured as it involves regular review, however the Uni side does lack due to the fluidity of the modules and their criteria. Sometimes there is a lack of clarity.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

Never a problem, have support from multiple sources

Yes multiple sports events and work related challenges, too many to list
