How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

I am studying for a degree in Building Surveying which interlinks with my day-to-day job role at Savills. Often I find myself writing an assignment on a topic for university and concurrently working on a real-life instruction relating to the same toipic.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

There are plenty of opportunities both within Savills and UCEM to partake in social events. I ensure I attend as many as my diary will allow, meeting like minding professionals and start growing my own network of contacts.
