I especially liked how much my lecturers encouraged us to attend conferences, lectures, and events both on campus and outside of our course to feed our general knowledge. These opportunities made my time studying at Loughborough exciting and whole.

The greatest skill I have learned is to be highly critical of everything you see on social media. There is so much misinformation and disinformation circling online that I really value this course for teaching how to spot what is factual.

The University is very supportive of international students. The weekly sessions on language and academic writing helped me adapt quickly and strengthen my skills.  Beyond my course, one of the highlights was living on campus and making friends.
