Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I worked 9-5 Monday - Friday. My days usually started with meetings with my line manager to review tasks to do. We had training for any new tasks and then we worked on them. I was able to have many meeting with different people across the team to learn about their roles and backgrounds.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I always had tasks to do and some training to do when there wasn't any new work. My manager was always available to give me some more work. The controls I worked on were very meaningful and essential for the company, I learned a lot about AstraZeneca from the internship.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
