The academic support at the University has been excellent. The tutors are approachable and open to questions. In addition, the University offers a range of academic skills sessions through Learn, including paraphrasing and academic writing workshops, which can be accessed both online and in person. As an international student, I have found this support particularly valuable and some of my friends have also benefited from these resources as well.
The library team has been incredibly helpful throughout my studies. They assisted me in locating specific reading materials through the inter-library loan service, and an academic librarian provided valuable guidance on improving my referencing skills. In addition, the University gives students access to Kanopy, a streaming platform offering a wide range of films and documentaries, which has been particularly beneficial to my learning and research on the course.
I have many highlights from my student experience at Loughborough. I particularly enjoyed the events and activities organised by the International Student Experience (ISE) team, which helped me meet new people, build friendships and settle into life in a new country. The fireworks event organised by Loughborough Students' Union was another especially memorable experience.
More generally, I have been impressed by the wide range of societies and extracurricular activities available at Loughborough. They provide excellent opportunities to pursue interests beyond my studies, connect with other students and develop new skills.
