I completed a placement year at the Department for Work and Pensions as a Social Researcher. Since then, I have secured a graduate role as a social researcher at the DWP. My degree gave me a huge amount of confidence in my ability as a social researcher and gave me the fundamentals of research methods through the first- and second-year modules.

I would 100% recommend studying sociology at Loughborough. You will receive huge amounts of support from lecturers, the university and fellow students and will have the opportunity to study a wide range of contemporary issues! Campus is really bubbly and friendly. There are always people out and about, so it feels very lively!

My course has really pushed me to believe in myself and strive for things I want to achieve! There is a real sense of pride in being a Loughborough student which I will carry with me after I graduate.
