  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Nice place to work. The university supports the learning that we apply at the work station. we are given suitable tasks with the team and enjoy working with others. good to develop my skills and learn about finance at the same time. day to day I attend meetings and write java code.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes, I have been taught object oriented programming, procedural programming and work based modules. the workplace modules are interesting and allow us to develop our organisational and business skills, which is nice. the lecturers seem knowledgeable although the university work is a little tough at times when we have to work as well. but with good time management this is ok

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • structure is ok, however it would have been good if we could have had a web development module as part of the first year (we only had this later on). web dev is a key part of the role, therefore this would be useful. the structure is supportive and seems thought out.

  • 8. 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 - we can take part in many clubs however time is limited this would be hard to fit in during the working day. while at uni the days are heavily packed so taking part in activitiveis here would also be hard - even though uni has lots of clubs to get involved with
