“I did an internal placement at the University in conjunction with the WWF, working with a lecturer to develop a report. I think it has boosted my employability as it is a clear example of my research skills in practice for a client and is publicly available for potential employers to access. Also, it has developed my capacity as a co-author which is useful for employment.”
