I’ve recently completed a placement at Intel. Bath’s career
development department helped me through my application to
Intel, giving me personal advice on CV content and interview
technique. Intel has a large student community and I had an
amazing year; I learnt a lot about myself, the workplace, and
applied many skills I gained during my first two years at Bath.
