Following the completion of my placement year, Multiplex sponsored my final two years of study at Loughborough University. This gave me reassurance for my career progression towards becoming a fully chartered Project Manager.

I enjoy both the creativity in design as well as the mathematical and analytical side of Civil Engineering. Loughborough’s course provided a good combination of theoretical and practical elements, which other universities lacked.

We’re able to complete a huge range of laboratory experiments throughout the course. We’re also provided with a two-week outdoor field course, which enables students to use their knowledge from lectures and apply it to real-life situations.
