  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • During 1st, 2nd, and and 4th year, it's just the standard university life, doing the same course as all other students. During placement, I've been doing product management, which involves managing the product backlog for new products and overseeing development and deciding the direction of the product

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes, I've learned product management skills, experience in Agile software development, interpersonal skills like communication and managing stakeholders, and technical skills as well.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I love my program. It's the best of both worlds with the perfect blend of university and industry experience, and to get paid on top of no tuition fees is incredible.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The program is very well structured, and there are many staff involved in making sure everything runs smoothly.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Good amount of support from the university, but on such a busy course it makes sense that not everyone can have full support at all times

    7/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • It's very useful to have the technical skills from the university course, as it puts me in a better position than my non-technical colleagues in many areas of work

    8/10

  • 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.)
