My favourite module is 'Laser Materials Processing' because it was very well taught, and the lecturer was engaging, funny and helpful. It was clear that you were being taught the most cutting-edge information available.

During my time at Loughborough I have had plenty of support from my allocated supervisor who helped me with academic work, but also with some personal situations. There is plenty of support for every situation, in various departments across the University, all you need to do is ask and help is offered.

During my year in industry, I worked as a Research and Development Placement Student for Caterpillar. Throughout the year, I performed high pressure failure investigations and materials validation tests in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. I also participated in large, multi-discipline, problem solving teams.

Once I have graduated, I hope to become a forensic investigator or a research and development engineer. My degree will help me achieve either of these directly, as all of the information I have learnt at university will be directly applicable to any role I choose.
