On my course, I enjoyed being able to learn in practical group environment. Loughborough teaches exceptionally well. The freedom granted in final year design project is superb, with constant support from lecturers, you can design something which truly means something to you. The sheer variety of skills taught over the course is excellent and you are given a real grounding in so many areas from programming, to user experience design.
The school was always investing in new machines, technologies and the latest software, so students could keep pace with industry leaders. Lecturers were constantly challenging project briefs, updating them to follow the latest trends.
One of my favourite modules was 'Design and Communication', where the brief was to create a 25-page digital portfolio and CV. This was very fun, as I could share my existing products and display them in a compelling way, using simple tricks and tips that make all the difference. It was also a great opportunity to develop my brand and allow me to stand out, with support from lecturers.
Loughborough Inspired me to be a better person, through encouraging me to get involved with so many fantastic projects that have such a profound impact on people. It has also helped me develop as a person, to become more sociable, confident and, ultimately, to create.
