On a sunny Thursday in July, our Chemical Engineering Graduands came together with their families and friends, to celebrate their imminent graduation with departmental staff.

Attendees and staff alike, spent time recalling students’ experiences whilst at Loughborough University and discussing what the world has in store for our soon to be alumni in the next few months.

Some students are taking a well-deserved break, whilst others are immediately jumping into industry and one student will be joining us again to complete a PhD – they obviously don’t want to leave us just yet!

A number of Departmental prizes were awarded at the celebration event:

BP Chemicals Design Prize (Best MEng Individual Design) - Kiranjit Dharni (left)
