The lecturers are fairly good at responding to emails if I have any queries with university work, and my tripartite reviews are good to ensure I am on track

My degree helps me to learn about the different process in the supply chain, and through my placements I can apply them to work

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

Yes, the early careers socials team organise multiple different socials, I've been to the Early careers winter ball, and lots of team meals and nights out
