I could tell from my bachelor’s degree that I had a greater interest in the manufacturing side of engineering, and one of the logical places to further my education in the subject was Loughborough. The engineering reputation of this University and the fact the course was accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) were the main reasons I picked Loughborough.

I found the programme and lecturers excellent at providing valuable insights into various aspects of current and future manufacturing engineering processes. We were able to see first-hand more specialist equipment within the University’s facilities, such as the Centre for Biological Engineering and Intelligent Automation Centre which helped put perspective to the lectures. During the course, I got to use a 3D printer for the first time and also have a go at programming an industrial robot as part of my research project.
