I visited the University on one of their summer open days and it really appealed to me. I liked the campus and the friendliness of the staff and students. Loughborough is one of the few universities that offer a placement year integrated into their degree. This mean you get support whilst applying to placements and a dedicated Industrial Tutor throughout your year out.

I really enjoyed the application of theory learned in lectures to real-world problems. A lot of our coursework was set as a group challenge and this was a valuable experience because in industry, we are expected to work both independently and in teams. This element of group work also meant you got to know your year group really well which was an added bonus.
