The opportunity to learn about elements of criminal justice, why crime is committed, and policing, fitted well with what I was interested in.
Great lecturers, the employability award and overall university experience set me up nicely for a graduate scheme and working life.
Studying Politics can be one of the most fulfilling subjects because there is so much scope to apply what you learn to your everyday life. There are so many avenues to represent people and help shape the change you want to see in the world.
Field trips were always fun in geography – I had a brilliant time on my final year fieldcourse. I chose to do my coursework on lichen and it turned out to be one of the most interesting pieces of coursework I ever did!
I wanted to use my degree to gain as much understanding of a wide range of topics and issues as possible and my course at Loughborough allowed me to do that.
The skills that I learned during my time at Loughborough University are the foundation of what I do on a day-to-day basis.
Loughborough was one of the only universities which offered a joint honours in Geography and Sport Science. One week I would be out on a Geography field trip taking samples from a lake and the next week I would be leading a rugby coaching session!
The variety of styles that we got to experience with different professors gave us room to find our ways, mould our own identities as students, and eventually guide our goals into what we wanted to achieve out of these learning years.
I enjoyed the freedom you are afforded to explore different aspects of subjects and the interactions and arguments this led to.
Take every opportunity you get to try out new things. It can take some time to work out what you want out of your career, even if you think you have a good idea, there are so many avenues down that road you can try out.
It’s always great to be taught by someone on a topic they are truly passionate about and are researching themselves.
The course gave me confidence in my ability to perform under pressure and find creative ways of thinking about a diverse range of issues.
Dive into every opportunity offered at Loughborough University until you find your niche because the journey towards it is a valuable learning experience in itself.
I became a much more confident person because everyone at Loughborough was so welcoming, so enthusiastic and just as excited as I was to be there!
Taking full advantage of the student television and radio facilities gave me the chance to hone my skills and experiment with different ways of broadcasting and creating content.
