Every lecturer at Loughborough is exceptionally knowledgeable and approachable, so all explanations are clear and questions comfortably answered. Lots of lecturers had released their own literature, completed research themselves or had several years first-hand experience in the field, which was extremely helpful and allowed me to utilise their knowledge and expertise.
I had an exceptional undergraduate experience at Loughborough and knew that the PGCE course here is famous for lecturer expertise and how it projects students in the future. I found the transition from UG to PG study comfortable and there was lots of support to help with areas I found tricky.
To help my transition into the PGCE course, I also worked a Saturday job at a local School to increase my confidence teaching and leading. It felt amazing to inspire students and watch their enjoyment grow for the sport – I even ended up winning the league with my team!
