We will be posting the competition winners through this blog each week, so make sure you visit us again soon!

…..Christopher Crowther from the University of the West of England, Bristol following a review of his placement at the Audit Commission, congratulations Christopher you are this weeks winner!

We caught up with Christopher to find out a little bit more about our competition winner.

What will you spend your £50 Amazon vouchers on?

“I haven’t really thought about it yet, I’m still surprised that I won! I will probably put it to good use though and obtain resource materials that will benefit the final year of my Mathematics degree.”

What are your careers plans for the future now that you are finishing your placement?

“My heart has always been set on becoming a Mathematics teacher at secondary school level. However, I am quite happy to keep my options open and this placement (at the Audit Commission) has been really beneficial to me and opened up my options to go into government research or another statistical based position.”

Top placement tip:

“Do not be afraid to communicate with other teams within your placement and get to know them better. More often than not, everyone tends to be very friendly and you will settle in better knowing you have familiar faces around you. They are often there to support you and make you feel welcome.”

Why did you decide to review your placement?

“I wanted to inform other students looking to go on placement of the wonderful opportunity I have had and how beneficial it has been ahead of my final year. I hope that people will take notice of placements such as those at the Audit Commission, who give you a vast range of knowledge as well as boost your confidence and prepare you excellently for working life.”

Well done for writing a great review Christopher! Happy spending! To read the winning review, please click here.
