Reading up on the modules, I liked the variety that was offered and being able to choose modules specific to my interests. I also chose Loughborough because of the high ranking it had for student experience as although studying is important, I also wanted to be in a place where I would still be able to enjoy my time.

Finally, I also chose Loughborough because of the location. Coming from London, it’s far enough away that I could be independent, but close enough to home that I would be able come and go as I liked, if I ever needed to.

I chose my course because I was able to study a combination of two subjects that interested me. I had studied sociology previously and I always enjoyed that. Criminology, on the other hand, was new to me. As cheesy as it might sound, I’d always had a fascination in crime documentaries so having the opportunity to learn about crime, criminals and the criminal justice system, theoretically interested me.

I enjoy the range of modules that are offered. The core modules give me fundamental knowledge, but the optional modules allow me to pick modules that I want to know more about. This includes modules that might be outside my course but indirectly related such as politics, psychology and media. This makes the university experience more enjoyable as it’s almost as though the course is tailored to me.
