Throughout sixth form, I got involved in a range of opportunities from the Engineering Development Trust, including Headstart and the Engineering Education Scheme. These experiences allowed me to decide that Civil Engineering was the degree that I wanted to pursue. Whilst attending open days during sixth form, I was amazed at the high standard of Civil Engineering courses offered, however, I felt that none of the university atmospheres compared to Loughborough. The Loughborough family atmosphere made me feel comfortable and confident that I would be supported by the staff throughout my degree.

I honestly think that Civil Engineering offers the best value for money in a degree.  As a career, Civil Engineering is not just about muddy sites, it is about the design of spectacular buildings, the innovation to improve sustainability and reduce disaster risk, as well as the management and leadership techniques that can enable you to have a successful career. Upon graduating, I would like to progress to becoming a project manager on an international project, where I can develop my knowledge gained from my degree to support the successful management and leadership of construction projects.‌
