Life as a summer placement student “During my last term at the University of Manchester, I joined Fisher German at the Ashby de la Zouch Head Office as a summer student and it has been beyond any doubt one of the most fulfilling experiences in my career so far. Stemming from an engineering background, planning had been fairly new to me, however, the whole team have been very supportive, patient and helpful.

Summer Placement Student (Planning )
I had very good mentoring from many chartered planners and I was involved in a variety of work which helped me gain an insight of planning outside an
“This internship scheme was introduced by one of my lecturers at Oxford Brookes University. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by a warm welcome from everyone. I worked in the Birmingham office, under the sustainability sector, where we consulted clients in ways to reduce carbon emissions and improve their EPC rating. I got hands-on client exposure and met an amazing team.

Summer Placement Student (Renewables)
I felt connected throughout the company, especially due to the APC training days as I met more colleagues from all around and experienced
academic setting. It has been a great experience working with a friendly and hard-working team on large-scale projects. Above all, what I really appreciated was that I was never treated like a placement student but as a member of the team, getting the opportunity to work independently and then receiving feedback from the experienced planners. I am extremely happy I did the placement. It has been very useful and it helped me greatly to get a distinction for my dissertation!”
invaluable lessons for my future career. All of this helped me to gain a holistic understanding of the industry, not just under the sector I was working in. The team I was working under were very keen in involving me with as much as possible. As a result of this, I was guided in leading my own projects and got to liaise with a variety of clients. All of this was great, along with the social side of things where we got to play sporting events together and meet outside the workplace. Overall, I loved my experience with Fisher German and got to connect with an amazing team”

“I spent 8 weeks with Fisher Germans Agency Team after my first year at the Royal Agricultural University. From the beginning the whole team were very welcoming and supportive, encouraging me to reach my full potential.
Harriet Cooper
Summer Placement Student (Agency)
I was given a range of responsibilities and engaged in a variety of roles, from conversing with vendors whose houses were on the market to enabling viewings across the county. This experience allowed me to develop my skills and gain a further understanding into the wider
surveying industry. The approachable and friendly atmosphere in the office and within the team allowed me to fully immerse into working life. I have already applied a lot of what I leant during my Summer Placement to my second-year studies and I am looking forward to returning to Fisher German, in the Rural Property Management department this summer to further develop my knowledge.”
