One might wonder how I chose this course… Well, I grew up playing with dolls (as many girls do), but I was also interested in cars. My passion for technology started then. When I was 8, I had my first maths competition where I came in 3rd place. That was the time when I realised that, not only did I like mathematics, but I was also good at it. Naturally, I started competing in physics and I absolutely loved it. At the age of 11 or 12, I knew I wanted to study something related to it. Since I always enjoyed the practical side more than the theoretical one, I decided engineering was the profession for me. 

As I was growing up, I always dreamt about moving to the UK for university. When I was 16, I chose Loughborough for a few reasons. 

• It is a top 10 UK university for Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering (The Complete University Guide 2024).  
• It provides the best facilities and coaches for sports.  
• It has a super sociable campus that looks out of this world.  
• Going on placement is encouraged and resources to do so are provided.  
• Last but not least, there is lots of assistance for finding a job after graduation.
