Why I chose to study Biomedical Engineering MSc at Loughborough

The main thing that attracted me to the Biomedical Engineering course at Loughborough is the extensive scope of research in the field and the exceptional laboratory facilities. By studying for my postgraduate degree here, I know I will have the facilities and materials to equip me for my career as a research scientist in major multinational cooperations like GE Healthcare, GSK, P&G and more.

Being an international student

Coming from India, I found the major transition for me was the weather! At first, it felt extremely cold as I'm used to much warmer weather and I knew it was something I would need to get used to.

However, the atmosphere and help from the staff at Loughborough meant I soon made friends and began to feel more like myself, becoming more confident and happy with my surroundings. The University put on events like induction week and team projects that allowed me to interact with other students from my country and hang out with them as well as take part with them in the induction events.

I think it's important to remember that moving to a new country can often come with mixed feelings, to begin with as you may experience culture shock and have to get used to your new environment but there is support in place for international students here to ensure you settle in quickly and enjoy your time.
