For my undergraduate degree in Geography, after initially researching the University online and speaking to previous students, Loughborough seemed like it might offer the right combination of academic study and social lifestyle that I was looking for. After experiencing Loughborough for my undergraduate studies, the decision to stay on for a postgraduate course was easy. Ultimately, Loughborough had given me opportunities and a lifestyle I could not have imagined gaining anywhere else. I came back to study for my postgraduate degree for the unique lifestyle Loughborough has to offer, the incredible opportunities available here and also, to continue expanding my knowledge through the best education possible, helping me to achieve my future goals and aspirations.
Not only is my MSc programme very diverse with a wide range of people from across the world, but it also offers a new insight to current world affairs, giving me a different perspective and understanding than I had during my undergraduate course. The course is also challenging and makes me think beyond what is simply required in terms of assignments, to develop my knowledge by engaging in these wider topics that are on offer by studying throughout the programme. It is additionally very rewarding. The challenging edge to the course makes accomplishing it and gaining from it as an experience as well as in knowledge highly satisfying, and not something everyone can say they have done.
