This course is more practical than most, but you won’t be working on cars all day as part of it. You will be learning engineering, not design - there are a lot of calculations and maths involved but it is rewarding! Make sure you have something to do that isn’t the course, whether that’s a sport, a club, formula student etc. as this is what will boost your experience.

I attended several trips with the Loughborough University Cycling Club to various Welsh mountain bike parks. The trips were fantastic, riding with people from different disciplines really improved my on-bike skills, ultimately riding for the University at BUCS.

I’m now working at Mercedes AMG F1 as an Experimental Specialist in the Aerodynamics Department in Brackley, Northamptonshire. I'm responsible for maintaining, developing and implementing systems in Wind Tunnel 2 at Brackley. Eventually, I will be somewhat involved in all areas of aerodynamic testing as the group develops.
