What has been your biggest challenge so far?

The end report – and I thought it would be the easiest. I think you can continually doubt you are on the right track and you need to continually seek reassurance about your thoughts and threads while developing the project to remain confident and on track.

What skills have you learned on the course, and how are you using them back in your role?

I've learned systems engineering knowledge, exposure to structure, organisation and model-based systems engineering. Covering a broad number of modules, I specifically picked areas that would help with my role and every week I utilise some form of learning from them. I've also learned that there can be more than one right answer, and systems are everywhere.

What would you say to someone considering studying this apprenticeship at Loughborough?

Pick modules that suit your skills and interests. Be prepared for hard work and difficult times while you question yourself, but trust the learning, ask for direction, and you will achieve the rewards.
