Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

Very much, I returned to a team I already knew from my YiI. I didn't get to work in depth and in detail on projects give the short time nature of the placement however I got a diversity of work and project experience-I went on a sit, I was supported to visit the London and Bristol offices to meet the rest of the team.
