Arup were supportive in most areas but | feel more support from the start would have improved my experience.

In the end I had some good support but for most of my time there I was unsupported and it was hard to navigate the course with tutors and staff not being clear

Certain ares the information I gained from the course helped me but I feel the practical work and experience is much more useful.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
