Often when considering the impact University has, first thoughts go towards the qualification or the facilities, but personally for me it was the people I met during my time, and thanks to Loughborough. Friends on the course help inspire and drive me to develop new skills. Friends outside the course helped me unwind and make the most of the Loughborough experience.
But one of the largest impacts on my future was a lecturer informing me on a sponsorship opportunity for my masters. Without them I’d likely not have applied, let alone get awarded a studentship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. An opportunity that has granted me training, financial support and fantastic networking opportunities with other skilled designers.
