“In addition to teaching us the technical skills, the modules also helped us to develop as professionals. For example, we were taught how to write a CV that would help us to stand out from the crowd, and through the assessment process we were able to develop presentation skills.
My placement helped me immensely too – it gave me an idea of what I wanted to focus on after graduating. I also found that applying what I had learnt in the classroom in a real business context helped me to cement my understanding of the theory.”
