Despite coming from a non-design background, I was able to develop a broad range of skills that are valuable in the workplace, such as conducting research, prototyping and UI design. This is because the course at Loughborough equips every student with a solid understanding of design theory, but provides great opportunity to put every ounce of knowledge into practice.
My ability to think critically has developed as a result of the course, along with my ability to be able to challenge my own biases, explore unconventional ways of doing and analyse the impact of your designs from a wide range of perspectives.
