I am currently on a year-long industrial placement with Air Products. Their work revolves primarily around the cryogenic distillation of air, producing nitrogen, oxygen and argon in high purities. The stable gases industry has a near limitless range of applications. My work in the product team ensures time is saved on large scale projects, re-using pre-engineered systems where they are applicable.
Loughborough is well regarded for its sporting prowess, but there is far more than just sport at Loughborough. There plenty of high-quality societies and I play trumpet in the university jazz group, Tuxedo Swing.
Engineering is an unexpectedly unique field of study and everyone learns the content in different ways. If you don’t understand the lecture, that’s fine, but do something about it! Textbooks, classmates, even online animations can sometimes give the push you need. Perhaps the most inspiring aspect of Loughborough are the graduates, who come back ever successful and enthusiastic about their careers. You can tell their time at Loughborough was enjoyed and they are making great use of it in their careers. I hope to be doing the same soon.
