As this was my first time living away from my home country – Nigeria, the Loughborough campus played a big part in my decision making, especially as the accommodation was situated on the campus. I also found the campus style helped in developing friendships, that have since continued. Another great thing about Loughborough is they have various scholarships, one of which I was able to benefit from – the African Development Trust Scholarship.

The high-quality teaching and facilities really benefited me during my master’s. I was able to focus on my studies with support from teaching staff and tutors, and the computer rooms are spread around the campus, so I was able to use any of them to help with my learning. Although you can access a lot of materials online, the very large library was also a great advantage as it has a vast amount of recourses, beyond those available online.
