Chemical engineering appealed to me because it takes the maths and science I enjoy and applies it to problems that matter at scale, like clean water, energy and the environment.
Before university I spent a year as an NHS Healthcare Assistant on an emergency cardiac and stroke unit, which showed me how much I enjoy solving practical problems that make a real difference to people. I chose Loughborough for its IChemE-accredited MEng programme, its strong links with industry and the built-in placement year.
