Celebrating our female students for International Women's Day 2020

For International Women’s Day 2020, we want to celebrate the achievements of women who have been on a year’s placement as part of their undergraduate degree at Essex. We’ve asked some of these students to share their experiences and hopes for the future.

Here, four of our female students talk about their placement year.

• My placement gave me the confidence to work in a professional environment - Alice McCormick
• My placement provided invaluable experience in an elite sporting environment - Ellie Williams
• My placement inspired a passion for the transport industry - Amy Moore
• My placement year helped me grow to who I am now - Giselle Yap
