  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Prior to my apprenticeship I knew nothing about marketing and the business world, 2.5 years down the line I am a competent and passionate marketer. I have developed skills in design, analytics, presentational and communication skills, leadership, and gained many new experiences during my employment.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • The content of the lectures is comprehensive and up to date, I couldn't be more pleased with the delivery and attitude of the lecturers. They have gone above and beyond to provide the best experience possible in such confusing and troubling times. I look forward to every session!

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Very well organised. I like that the days change and the class isn't just every Monday, for example. The units have been delivered in an order that makes sense and we can use knowledge from previous units to build on new ones as they link together well.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My employer is very supportive and encouraging, he is eager to know about what I am doing at uni and that my workload isn't affecting the quality of my work. I have been welcomed into the business and feel very happy and comfortable in the workplace.

  • 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.)
  • As a very small business (6 members of staff) we don't really have extra curricular activities. However I am given the opportunity to be out of the office and meet customers onsite often, I attend an exhibition in the UK every year and one in Germany every 3 years.
