Research Scientist Review

Make prototype products and test them for various capabilities such as stability and effectiveness.

Lots of technical skills such as rheology, manufacturing, microscopy.

Very much and it has allowed me to gain a degree as well as work.

Within the team I work in, fairly well valued, however due to the size of the company this is difficult to achieve.

Very well organised, the programme has been running for a few years now, and it runs fairly smoothly, some improvements are also being made as difficulties arise.

A fair amount of support, the university want their students to do well.

A fair amount, although this mainly comes from colleagues.

Very well, it is certainly one of the better paid apprenticeships available.

Not really, working and doing a degree takes up nearly all spare time.

Yes

Good employer with a very good apprenticeship scheme.

Be yourself and be willing to work hard!
