Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As an intern in the Commercial team, I supported surveyors with property inspections, market research and comparable evidence work, etc. I also attended site visits, internal meetings, and training sessions, giving me practical insight into the commercial property sector.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes. I was supported throughout the internship; I was given meaningful responsibilities rather than simply observing. I assisted with property inspections, market research and collecting comparable evidence. I was trusted to complete tasks independently before discussing my findings with the team, which helped me build confidence and develop my understanding of commercial valuation. The Oxford team was always approachable and happy to answer questions, creating a supportive learning environment while giving me the opportunity to take ownership of my work.
