I’ve always been interested in helping people and the course stood out to me as a way to improve quality of life by developing new solutions to existing problems. With it being a new course, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do something that is current and could help to shape future medicine and treatments.
The facilities, the quality of the sport and the level of teaching that you get at Loughborough really appealed to me. The closeness of students at the university is something that really appealed to me too; there are plenty of opportunities to try new things and meet people from different walks of life. It really felt like home to me from the moment I arrived.
I like the variety on the course: within the first year we have studied modules from across the engineering schools. This gives you a chance to find out what you really enjoy and shows you the options for future careers that you have doing this course. The teaching and facilities have been top notch, the lecture theatres and labs are all quite new and you get a chance to use a lot of the apparatus within the labs. The teaching is flexible, and changes based on feedback from students to ensure it is the best it can be for the group.
