Additional information

I've been told commercial awareness is one of the things the recruiters look out for on the Experience Day. How is this assessed? Are we asked direct questions about what's happening in the industry? Or is it something that's assessed indirectly via the tasks? Or is the commercial awareness requirement more for the final interview?

Hi Taabish - thank you for your question. Commercial awareness is not specifically asked about at the EYX, however Technology making a huge impact on the world is certainly something that we look for students to be aware of. You'll be able to show your commercial awareness in our 121 activity on the day - being mindful of the world of business and technology would benefit you - but you won't get any specific technical questions on the day,
