As someone with a sporting background, Loughborough University immediately appealed to me. I really appreciate the ethos of the University and Business School – working hard and striving to achieve excellence and the idea of ‘Progress with Purpose’. My uncle and aunt both studied here, and they spoke highly of their time here, praising the teaching quality and the excellent campus, they had me completely sold on the idea of joining Loughborough.
I chose to study BSc Economics and Management because I had a fantastic Economics teacher at A Level who ignited my passion for the subject. The subject fascinates me, and I wanted to deepen my understanding of it through the comprehensive programme of study Loughborough offers.
My experience at Loughborough Business School has exceeded even my already high expectations. I will always take the opportunity to talk about the amazing experience studying at Loughborough provides. The teaching has been exceptional and there is an incredible support system in place for all students. You truly feel the sense of community from both the staff and students here.
Throughout A Levels, I fell in love with the numbers and statistical side of economics. At Loughborough, there's a strong emphasis on the quantitative skills needed for economics, which provides a solid understanding of the subject's mechanics. In first year, mandatory modules equip you to make informed decisions about how to focus your studies as you progress. There's still plenty of subject matter on the more qualitative, discursive side of economics, and I even had the chance to spend a module in my fourth year studying Spanish, allowing me to pick up a language as well.
