Once I had decided that I wanted to do Bioengineering, there were only a few universities in the UK that supported the course. Out of all of the choices, Loughborough stood out to me for its sports and science facilities. As well as having state of the art labs, it was also one of the top universities for netball, which is one of my favourite sports.

I knew at school that didn’t want to do medicine, but I was very interested in healthcare and also loved maths, physics and problem solving. I wanted to do a course that combined the two fields together and bioengineering seemed like the perfect fit.

I love how diverse my course is. I’m someone who gets bored if I learn the same thing over and over again, but Bioengineering has such a wide range of different modules that you gain knowledge across multiple different fields in such a short space of time.

The facilities at Loughborough are amazing, not just for the course but sports and social activities as well. I personally haven’t had any problems with the teaching quality at the university; sure there are times when I haven’t understood the way that I’ve been taught, but the lecturers have always been more than happy to sit down with me and explain it in more detail.

I really enjoyed the Control Engineering module in my second year. The lecturer was one of the best I’ve had and he made the course very enjoyable to learn. It was all very new to me, but I found it really interesting.
