I was working as a production manager in a plastics and rubber retail/processing company in Estonia (Plastok OÜ) and wanted to expand my knowledge in the scientific side behind these materials – to find out how the molecular level affects the properties and therefore its possible applications. I had done my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, so I have always had the desire to find out how things work.
The MSc course in Loughborough really stuck out from others and the application went very fast – I started the process in July and in September I was already here. Besides, my friend was also starting her studies in a sports science related area in Loughborough as well, so it was easier for me.
