Loughborough has such a positive atmosphere that is hard to describe unless you experience it, not only academically with the projects going on around you and opportunity to get involved, but also the campus as a whole. People may be pushing to their sporting best or getting stuck into a society, and everyone really has a sense of pride in the Loughborough name. Just seeing how many people share and celebrate on social media when Loughborough wins an award, even friends that left a few years ago, is testament to the community the university has.
The placement year was a real highlight for me, using the knowledge I learnt at university and proving myself at work was a really great feeling. Being asked to represent the entire UK market in a sales training event over at Head office in Lyon was amazing and something I never would’ve got to do had I not been on this course.
My advice for prospective students would be to absolutely go for it! I’ve had so many opportunities I didn’t imagine coming into the course and have never looked back since.
