Placement visit to Canon Europe

It was very good to see how well one of our Royal Holloway Management students, Slav Stateva, was getting on at Canon Europe during a recent placement visit. Slav is currently spending the 3rd year of her 4 year degree as a European Product Planning placement student with Canon Europe.

Slav had already been back to visit Royal Holloway at one of our call back afternoons but this visit provided the opportunity to meet Slav at her office and to talk with her and her manager about how she was getting on. Slav discussed how she had been involved in a number of different projects involving product launches which had involved close cooperation with the Marketing department. She also described a number of  reports she had been responsible for to help manufacturer planning and to provide insight to Senior management. It was pleasing to hear how Slav's work was making a difference and that she had enjoyed working in multifunctional teams and learning how to communicate with people from different cultures.

This was a very insightful visit and I very much appreciated Slav's manager for making it possible. We are pleased that Canon UK has also offered one of our 2nd year students a placement position for 2016/17.
