I am incredibly proud to have secured a teaching position at one of my placement schools, allowing me to begin my career as a Mathematics teacher after completing the PGCE with QTS in Mathematics programme. I am also continuing my Loughborough journey by studying the Education (Mathematics) MSc, which is helping me deepen my understanding of education and further develop my teaching practice.
While balancing postgraduate study alongside a full-time teaching role can be challenging, the flexibility of the MSc programme allows me to fit my studies around my work commitments, with valuable support from both my tutors and colleagues.
My advice to anyone considering studying at Loughborough is simply to go for it! Loughborough offers a supportive community, excellent facilities and a wide range of opportunities beyond your studies. I recommend that you make the most of your University experience by getting involved with as much as you can and don't be afraid to ask for support when you need it. The opportunities and connections you gain can make a real difference to your student experience and professional development.
