The advice I would give to anyone thinking of studying on the SCAPE degree is don’t be shy. It takes quite a bit of courage to step up and coach your peers or some school-age children.
It can also be challenging to accept constructive criticism from lecturers and peers and reflect on your own performance, especially after making mistakes. But this is an important part of the learning curve and will help you becoming a better practitioner.
For students who want to progress onto my MSc course, whether they are studying SCAPE or not, I would suggest that it is definitely worth utilizing the resources and opportunities that Loughborough provides to build a solid vocational foundation and expand your professional network. Internal recommendations will play a massive part in securing placement roles within the industry.
