I loved the relationship that I built with the people here; studying a chemistry degree with practical laboratory experience gave me opportunities to work together as well as teach me lots of new techniques since I enjoy learning practically. I liked the fact that I felt I could always ask for help from the lecturers and technical tutors; before starting my degree at Loughborough University I was relatively shy and found it difficult to ask questions, but after being at Loughborough University I came out of my shell.
I think the teaching quality and facilities are good and there has always been the opportunity to study deeper into areas I’m interested in, whether that be asking for extra material from the lecturers or further reading in the library. I liked the fact that I could review the lectures online to make sure I didn’t miss any important bits of information and the lecturers were always very passionate in the subjects they taught and didn’t hesitate to answer any questions I had at the end of the lectures.
My favourite Chemistry BSc module would probably be 18CMB107 Chemistry Option because I found the content relatable to everyday applications of chemistry, especially the section about superconductors and polymers. Within this module we were also taught about ICP-MS instrumentation which I did a project about in my fourth year of study (MChem) which involved computationally optimising part of the instrument. The project module was good as it helped to develop my independent research skills as well as gathering my own data and analysing it to come to my own conclusions.
