I am currently completing a PhD in Occupational and Environmental Physiology, in which I am investigating the physiological effects of heat in specialist paramedics.
Prior to my MSc, I never considered continuing my studies with a PhD, however thanks to my supervisor’s advice and support I decided to apply and was successful.
I chose Loughborough for my master’s degree as I knew it was the best university for sport and I had heard many great things about the university from friends who had studied there before. As a recent graduate, I can now confirm this and pass on this message of recommendation to prospective students.
The Physiology and Nutrition of Sport Exercise programme at Loughborough includes a wide range of useful and enjoyable experiences. The lecturers were all fantastic, while external speakers were particularly insightful, as to the potential directions available after the MSc.
