Students Feedback
The most efficient way
The courses I take are in very small groups, which is very different from the lectures in Germany. I love the opportunity to learn new things in small groups and ask questions to understand the course in a timely manner.
Working with your mentor
The internship definitely exceeded my expectations, especially with how much support I received during and after. The training and mentorship was to the highest quality, even better than what I am normally used to. As my final year dissertation was based on what I did on the internship, the help and feedback I received from the mentors was outstanding. They were the main reason for me achieving the best grade. Even months after I finished the internship, my mentor helped me with my applications to further degrees, which made a significant impact.
Skills and knowledge delivery
Q: Did your internship turn out to be as you expected? Do you feel that your training and mentoring / supervision was authentic, credible, accurate, comprehensible? Were your mentors able to provide sufficient recommendations and feedback?
A: This internship was everything a student can wish for from an internship program! And absolutely yes to all the above questions!
Q: What can you say regarding clarity and completeness on topics covered? Do you find that your internship program delivers the knowledge / skills effectively, neatly and methodically?
A: Absolutely! This internship program delivers the knowledge and skills
the right way, so everything can be understood even by those who are new to the research topic.
About aims and tasks
The content of which the internship was based on was very applicable to the real world, which was important for me as you could see the meaning behind every individual step of what you are working towards. The laboratory, although quite old, provided a good research environment and it had everything needed to produce quality work.
Personal notes
To be completely honest, I think anyone who has the opportunity to pursue this internship should 100% do it. If I was to go back and tell my past self who was hesitant to go, I would say that it is an absolute no brainer. From everything you learn, to the great people you meet, it is an experience which you cannot miss. It is also great for future study or employment opportunities. The mentors and people involved, will help you with future applications and even future work that you may need help with due to the great relationships you make. I could not recommend it highly enough as it was one of the best experiences I have had in terms of practical and theoretical skill development, but also personal development as a whole.
