  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Not so relevant for my degree as I did not use much chemistry but I wish to come back into this industry when I graduate for which it will help. I also have lots of transferable skills which will help whichever career I pursue.
