My biggest achievement whilst studying at university has been working for Avon Protection. Not only did Avon accomplish some huge milestones whilst I was on placement, but the placement allowed me to develop myself and many skills to take forward in life.
My advice for anyone considering studying this course is that if you have a passion for design and enjoy design, 100% do it. Placement year allows you to get stuck into real world projects and look at the bigger picture of design.
