The high position in the rankings for the Chemistry department, and the specialised nature of the MPC course is what encouraged me to apply. I decided to come to Loughborough when attending an offer holder day, the campus was great in the sun and had a very homely feel, so I accepted the offer from Loughborough over the other universities.
I was interested in a Chemistry course and have always had an interest on the medical & pharmaceutical applications of chemistry so a course that gave me a wide base of Chemistry knowledge, while adding specialist knowledge relevant to drug development and similar areas was very interesting.
The specialised MPC modules have given me a great overview of the whole pharmaceutical development process, and aspects such as Pharmacokinetics, and the modes of action of drugs within the body. I find these parts of the course very interesting.
The quality of teaching and facilities are fantastic. STEM Lab is a great facility and being able to spend so much time in the labs throughout the degree is a great aspect of the course.
