How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The degree is an 'APEP' meaning it's suited to professional work, hence used a lot of the modules taught at uni in office.
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 is an early careers programme which is exclusively available to grads, undergrads and apprentices to resemble a 'university feel' and hence has a lot of activities.
