Loughborough looked very appealing after I had attended an open day, looked around the STEMLab and spoken with students. There are also so many options available: you can continue onto a masters’ programme, do a placement year or even a year abroad. There are also a lot of activities around the campus to join in with, which aren't academic.
I enjoy Maths and Biology and wanted to apply my knowledge of both to engineering. Bioengineering is an emerging field and I wanted to be part of a course that I could watch evolve. I liked that Bioengineering makes a difference in the quality of people’s lives and improves the future. I also knew I wouldn’t be limited with career options after I'd completed my degree.
The variety of subjects covered on my course is great and I like collaborating with students from other science and engineering disciplines. In addition to the variety, the machines and software used are the same as those used in industry, so I know that the course is preparing me well for a career in STEM.
