One of the opportunities that I got to experience was a visit to the Rolls Royce site in Derbyshire where a Loughborough materials alumnus showed us around the facility and talked to us about how his degree has been advantageous within the company.
The university often arranges alumni to come and present on campus as part of the ‘Personal Best’ scheme and allows you to see and hear from successful alumni from all disciplines. Hearing them talk proudly about how Loughborough has helped them to progress and how we are all a part of the Loughborough Family was very inspiring and reaffirmed that I had made the correct choice with Loughborough.
I was a member of the sailing society during my time at Loughborough; I had not sailed in a very long time and wanted to try it again. For me it was an opportunity to get away from university for a few hours and relax, but there are opportunities to compete for the university too.
