I chose to study Architecture at Loughborough because it was a new course, which was an exciting prospect. I liked the balance it had between the art and technical aspects. I’m also a competitive long distance runner, so I came to Loughborough to join the athletics team.
I have had lots of support from the University and School on how to write CVs and produce business cards to hand out at our Architecture End of Year Shows. I have also received some guidance on how to write cover letters to apply for jobs. I also found mock interview days with different practices really helpful as it allowed me to get used to the types of questions they would ask in real interviews, and how to address them with confidence.
We also had optional placement sessions and workshops on Fridays with Karen and Rob, which were incredibly useful for gradually getting us ready to apply for our placements, making the process stress-free.
