Having the backup of world-class facilities really helped to cement the theory side. Going to the engine labs to test something you’ve just discussed gave you something to latch onto. What I liked with Loughborough is that we’d always almost have a practical aspect to each module and any coursework we completed we’d collect the data for ourselves.

I was impressed with how much of an open door policy all the lecturers have, any issues or queries you might have, whether that’s a topic you’ve not quite understood or an issue with coursework, as long as they’re in their office they’re happy to help out.

It was great to have the Maths Learning Support Centre as well to get specific help if you find you need it, I didn’t do a further Maths A level so it was helpful to have that support and the resources for topics I’d not covered before.
