Here's what our current placement students had to say:

"_As a project assistant in the School of Social Sciences I help out with a variety of projects put in place to enhance the learning, teaching and wider experiences of the School for both staff and students. Projects can differ significantly, so where one requires a quantitative skill set of collating and organising data, another will require a more creative stance in marketing certain events the School puts on. Considering such, this role has really helped me to explore and develop a range of skill sets from researching to creative thinking which I think would be really beneficial to any job role as it shows well-roundness and advanced capabilities_

With the endless amount of opportunities the team has to offer, this role has left me with a skill set so important to any future career."_**
