I worked for three companies during my placement year, in the UK, Italy, and Germany. The benefits of my placements were that I learnt to work within small teams but contribute to large corporate goals and visions. I got a chance to show my creativity and innovative mindset, which was very well received by my team. Not only did my placements shape my future goals, but they also taught me new skills, a new mindset and enabled me to see the importance of my degree in Industry.

My advice to anyone considering studying this course would be to not compare yourself to others. With a creative course where there is never a ‘right’ answer, it can be easy to compare your work. It is important to remember that all work has its strengths and weaknesses, and that the most important thing is to strive to do your best.
