Before studying a PhD at Loughborough, I studied for my undergraduate degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Turkey and a postgraduate degree in Cardiovascular Rehabilitation in the UK.

Like many others, one of the primary reasons for me to choose Loughborough University is because it is the best in its fields in Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. I was impressed that the supervisors were all very successful and experts in their fields, and was excited by the opportunities available.

Working with those who are among the best in their fields is making great contributions to my personal development – my main highlight in studying a PhD is that I am now a part of the qualified research group with the supervisors and researchers I’m working collaboratively with.

Learning different techniques and developing different perspectives through the studies we carry out is another important contributor to my success going forward.
