I was awarded the IET Diamond Jubilee Scholarship, which I am so proud of. The scholarship provides me with exciting opportunities, and the resources, support and funding will greatly benefit my studies and future career. I’m interested in applying my degree to a career in renewable energy and sustainability and the later years of my degree offers modules on renewable energy, which will help me discover more about this, and Loughborough’s existing links to industry should benefit my ambitions as well.

As the engineering residential was a key reason why I chose this course, my advice to anyone considering studying engineering would be to try to take on as many opportunities like taster days and residentials as you can. These will help you be more sure of what interests you and what you want your degree to include, and you can also write about them on your personal statement.
