I recommend my course to anyone seeking academic challenges. It will definitely support and influence your future career in some way. There are loads of opportunities for support from Loughborough. In the department there is the student voice (programme representatives, peer mentors), departmental sports, personal tutors and group tutors. The courses are being updated every few years and I believe you can benefit even more from the new syllabus if you are aspired to be a materials engineer.

Staff were very supportive, and the facilities have definitely seen major improvements over the years! Some lecturers were very enthusiastic about their topics and were more than happy to discuss these further and pass on their knowledge. The Maths Learning Support Centre provided additional support from my maths lecturers outside of lecture hours and from other lecturers which provides a different perspective on how to approach an exercise problem. There was also support from my personal tutor, who helped to direct me to the right services for personal, academic and careers matters. The careers consultants from the Careers Network were in general very helpful and supportive in guiding me through recruitment processes.
