Throughout my time at Loughborough, I have received lots of support when learning and understanding content for the first time, as well as when revising for exams. When competing in the Royal Academy of Engineering competition, our team was mentored by two of the lecturers. They gave up their time to help us work on our innovation and attend multiple workshops, showcases and summits.
I love that there are always lots of things happening on campus, from many different sports to hall and School socials. There is a real sense of community and openness from all the staff and students. I have made some amazing friends and I really enjoy everyday life at Loughborough.
I completed a placement year working in the railway office at Tony Gee and Partners. This year helped me apply the skills I learnt in my first two years at the University to real life situations. I spent my year completing calculations, writing reports, and designing engineering drawings for railway footbridge, over-bridge and under-bridge strengthening, refurbishments, and assessments. Throughout this year, I also developed my knowledge on the commercial side of Civil Engineering and built great relationships with my colleagues.
I hope to start a graduate engineering job and continue to expand my knowledge in the construction and built environment industry. I hope to begin working towards my professional development to become a Chartered Engineer, which I started with the help of Loughborough during my placement year.
