“Very helpful. Ludovica is clearly aware of all resources the careers department has to offer. Gave great advice about placements, summer internship and answered any queries in detail. As someone who has started thinking about their career plan relatively late in the game, there was no judgement from Ludovica, the support is clearly there.”
