Having been interested in building from a young age, I knew I wanted to gain a wide range of management skills in the construction sector. The Architectural Engineering course has developed my architectural design skills as well as my teamwork and leadership skills, preparing me for a successful career in the industry.
I’ve had opportunities to design new buildings and work in varied teams, which has been incredibly fun. Working in teams has allowed me to learn how to best manage and communicate with different personalities, utilising individual skill sets to get the best results for our projects.
My favourite module on the course involved designing a café overlooking Charnwood Water in Loughborough. The project had an open brief, enabling us to come up with exciting designs, and it was the first opportunity for us to complete scaled architectural drawings. This sparked a keen interest in architectural detailing, which I have continued to enjoy throughout the course.
