The support and facilities
The teaching quality during my studies was excellent. My lecturers were informative, providing clear and comprehensive information. They were flexible with their teaching styles and personable on a one-to-one basis, making the learning experience highly engaging and supportive.
In terms of facilities, my passion within materials is microscopy. The Loughborough Materials Characterisation Centre has some great equipment, along with a fantastic team to help run, maintain, and teach. This combination of top-tier resources and expert guidance significantly contributed to my academic and professional development.
The support was always made very clear and available. In my first year I utilised the maths learning support centre to help me understand the mathematical concepts required for my modules, and my lecturers where always eager to help with any areas I was struggling with. The library is also a great resource for any help needed with writing reports or finding the right book you need to reference.
Loughborough inspired my love of microscopy, getting hands on with equipment from an early stage and being able to become more independent made my experience very unique.
