Melis

Chemistry - Pharmaceutical Science and Medicinal Chemistry MSc

The connections between Loughborough University and the industry will be a contributing factor in realising my ambition to work in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in cancer research.

Computer Science - Data Science MSc

The skills I am learning are a real mix of STEM and non-STEM disciplines. I believe these will equip me to be a well-rounded candidate for any organisation and I will be able to transfer my skills into any data science related role in the future.

Mathematics - Industrial Mathematical Modelling MSc

I wanted both the practical and theoretical experience Loughborough offered. I have been a professional mathematical modeller since graduating. If you want to be a mathematician working on real-world mathematics, this is the course to do.
