My four years at Swansea University studying Economics has been thoroughly enjoyable and the range of extracurricular activities available to students is huge. During my second year I was enrolled in the employability module that aimed to help students acquire a placement. My placement with Lidl exceeded all my expectations, working in a fast-paced and challenging environment accelerated my professional development.
