3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Reflecting back on my 6 months on the program it's definitely the best decision I made over studying in University full time. I've still had the exposure of living away, meeting new people and enhancing my skills. I really enjoy the program as each day can vary - there's also a lot of support on hand.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I'd say it's pretty structured as you rotate every 6 months for the first 3 years before completing a year long rotation.
