Personal Information:
Having finished the MSc by the end of 2010, I had the opportunity to join a 6 month internship at the KBC’s IGA on Lancaster University through the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci scheme. The scheme funds a variety of different projects and offers a range of opportunities for all sizes and kinds of organisations in the UK to get involved in European working.
By taking part in the multiple stages of delivering ICT solutions to companies, the IGA has allowed me to put my skills into practice and develop new ones, particularly in software engineering, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The time spent at the IGA has definitely proved to be a great investment and it has enabled me to expand the number of ICT sub-areas I’ve knowledge of. It will undoubtedly help me to establish a direction for my professional career.
