I wanted to learn something interesting as well as practical, which ensured that I could relate my knowledge to innovative advancements in the industry. Choosing materials was a natural progression for me after attending Imperial College’s Material Science and Engineering work experience programme during my A levels.
I also wanted to study a degree which had a diverse range of exit opportunities so that my career options were open. The course does this by offering technical engineering modules, as well as modules such as marketing and accounting. These factors, combined with Loughborough’s world-leading sports facilities, resulted in me choosing to come here.
I received some great guidance on finding a placement from the department, which equipped me with the understanding of the expectations which firms have when recruiting students. The Careers Network was incredibly helpful too; I regularly used their services to revise job-specific resumes and cover letters.
