It gives you a much better experience in research and lets you explore outside the limits; hence, helping me grow. This is different to the studying I have done before. You don't have to be a total expert in the area to start a PhD. All you need is a good idea to work on, innovative thinking and a problem-solving approach, with a little patience for reading. If you read as much as you can, this will help too.

Loughborough is helping me to achieve my goals, through the productive discussions with my supervisor, emotional support from colleagues and friends around the campus, and an infinite pool of resources from professional to personal support. Be it through the research group, department, library, Doctoral College or Students' Union, Loughborough University has provided all forms of support that I have been looking for.

As a result of this, I can say that the peaceful and pleasant environment, combined with the constant support offered by the staff members for students, are my favourite things about studying in Loughborough. I look forward to continuing to work in academia and contributing to the development of science and technology with my work, as this is the path I can see my career taking.
