  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy the day to day workings, the opportunities it has provided for me, the chance to travel all over the country meeting new people, exploring new places. The university time you are provided with isn't a lot. There is a lot of work to do and at times can be difficult to balance it out.
