I chose this course because since A-Levels I have loved learning about the physical world, which is full of mysteries and problems we have yet to solve. I find the subject incredibly fascinating; it is so diverse that every single subject area is completely different. Another reason I chose physics was because I was unsure about my career path and so physics was a great bridge between many fields that I could potentially pursue in the future.
The biggest attraction of Loughborough University for me was the campus. Amongst being one of the largest campuses, it also has some of the best sports facilities in the world as well as an amazing Student’s Union. Being a science student, the facilities available to me were also important, and having attended a summer course before studying here, I realised that these were some of the best and newest facilities in the country.
I really enjoy the structure and content of the new physics course as I find it to be an exciting challenge. The course tackles many aspects of what it takes to be an excellent physicist, introducing many complex concepts and ideas as well as applications of physics such as coding or laboratory research.
The tuition is very personalised, offering a wide range of support across all modules. The course entails many styles of teaching such as tutorials, lectures, seminars and demonstrations. These are all very beneficial for students as they become accustomed to different forms of learning, something I have found very helpful in my time here as I am able to reinforce my comprehension through various activities.
