My advice would be don’t hesitate! The PGR community at Loughborough is extremely supportive and inclusive and there are lots of great resources available to help you develop on your research journey.

I study remotely, so can’t speak to the on-campus provision. Having said that, I have been very impressed by the facilities that I can access from home. These include remote access to high-powered-computers and a suite of useful software.

I am studying for my doctorate part-time, which I anticipate taking around seven years. In five years’ time therefore, I hope to be at a relatively advanced stage of the project! I’m also hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the UKRI Policy Internships scheme.
