Throughout my four years at Loughborough University, I trained and competed with the University’s Athletics Union Ultimate Frisbee team. Through this I trained multiple times a week, went to tournaments most weekends and most importantly made some of the most amazing friends. Being a part of this family played a huge part in my Loughborough experience.
Loughborough has repeatedly inspired me to become the best possible version of myself, through repeatedly giving me opportunities and supporting me when I took them! The family atmosphere has really allowed me to achieve things I never thought I could. My greatest achievement was getting a mark of 71% in my Final Year Project, which was researching “New Materials for Additive Manufacturing of Ceramic Green Bodies”. Through this I used new equipment including XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and Water Contact Angle to analyse the samples produced.
My advice for anyone thinking about studying this course is to become comfortable getting help from lecturers outside of timetabled contact hours. Take up every opportunity to attend career fairs and give yourself plenty of time to complete coursework.
