Enhance your career prospects

"I was interested in the field of security, and this course provided me with the teaching and skills that helped me achieve my ambition of working in that field.

I will soon be starting a role within the Tactical Partnerships Team for the National Crime Agency within their National Cyber Crime Unit. My role will involve helping enhance the NCCU's tactical engagement with the private sector to enable external partners to directly contribute the NCCU's objective to disrupt serious and organised crime."

"My experience at Loughborough was pivotal in determining the direction of my career so far and I'd absolutely recommend both the School experience and the campus experience to prospective students. I am now a published poet with a host of spoken word performances under my belt. Since graduating, I have set up my own successful brand consultancy, Mac+Moore. We have clients such as Sky, Unilever and TfL on our books as well as disruptive challenger brands in the tech and media space.

Studying Creative Writing at a MA level allowed me to create a point of difference for myself in the world of work. Where most marketing roles are filled by people who... you guessed it, studied marketing - I have been able to use my background as a published poet to stand out. A big part of brand strategy and positioning is distilling a big, often complex idea into a few impactful words that tell an emotional story. My MA degree helped me prove I can do just that."

"The programme not only equipped me with the analytical tools for working within the media industry, but the structure also allowed me to develop core organisational skills such as task prioritisation and stakeholder management.

"The range of areas covered on the programme really appealed to me both in terms of my interest and in their ability to enhance my employability. It covers practical skills, such as those needed for river management, alongside software skills in areas such as GIS and geospatial modelling. This has given me a broad understanding of the environmental sector and the range of opportunities within it.

From my MSc, I’ve gained knowledge of specialist software needed in a range of environmental jobs, such as GIS, SPSS and RStudio. My course has also given me a range of skills beyond specialist environmental knowledge. There’s a lot of data analysis involved in the programme, and I’ve learned how to handle and interpret large datasets which has allowed me to get a role as a Market Insight Officer here at the University during my second year of studying."
