What our students say
Find out what some of our current students and graduates have to say about how studying in the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has boosted their career prospects.
Elisa
Construction Engineering Management
"The course takes you on multiple field trips to visit real construction projects, which allows you to get more construction and leadership experience during your time at University. I also worked in London for my placement which helped me gain valuable insights. I shadowed the Senior Site Manager and helped solve conflicts between proposed designs and existing construction projects alongside architects and structural engineers."
Kelly Attwood
Site Manager, Morgan Sindall Construction
"Loughborough inspired me through the people I met and their desire to make a difference in the industry - they continually strive to achieve more and will push you to do your best, and I think this is reflected in its students. My greatest achievement is having been recognised for my efforts by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and being awarded the Rising Star Gold Award. Being recognised by my employer and external professional bodies has been a huge boost for my professional network and has opened many doors."
Sam
Commercial Management and Quantity Surveying
"When I was looking to do a placement, the University provided me with a list of companies to apply for, including a company synopsis so that I could make an informed decision when choosing where to apply. This helped me find a company that best fit my values. I did my placement at Sir Robert McAlpine. I was involved in the pre-construction phase of a £100m project in Birmingham."
