I have decided to go into further education due to having a career change and I am now studying a master’s degree in Engineering Design MSc at Loughborough University. During my BEng degree, I have had design modules and lectures by lecturers originally from the Design School. The careers consultants were also very friendly and helpful when offering advices on my career change. I believe these all helped me made an informed decision when planning my career journey.
I’ve come across other Loughborough alumni during my career, such as in my master’s degree, while I was on placement and in other careers events such as hackathons.
There are always social, sports, wellbeing and other events happening on campus and they are not limited to just students living in halls. I particularly enjoyed the IMS badminton games (when I played for David Collett Hall in my second year!) and My Lifestyle programmes, careers workshops, networking events and loved my volunteer life at Department Students’ Federation Committee (as a careers/enterprise SIO) and LSU Education (as a peer mentor and PAL facilitator) at Loughborough.
My favourite thing about being a Loughborough alumnus is being able to share a part of my life with and at Loughborough University and how this has shaped me to become the person I am proud to be today.
