I would definitely tell anyone thinking about studying this course to consider it in a positive light, as there is a lot of support offered by the department, with a very good student to staff ratio. The laboratory facilities are brilliant, and we get a lot of hands-on experience with materials testing equipment. The course has a little bit of everything from design, chemistry, physics, mathematics, modelling and engineering.
I am a commuting student, so I have not had much of a chance to experience the social atmosphere on campus. However, I have been to events, such as International Day, which has given me an idea of how lively the social atmosphere is.
I really like how diverse the university is. I remember attending Fresher’s fair and being overwhelmed by the number of societies and clubs that I could join. These ranged from interests to cultures and there was something for everybody. Diversity in the university was quite important to me since I come from an ethnic minority and it is so pleasing to see how celebrated all the different cultures are here in Loughborough.
