After visiting all the top universities for mechanical engineering, I chose Loughborough because of the exciting projects on the course. These have included designing and building a wood cutting device, developing a new garden tool for Bosch and creating a stone skimming machine.
It is the practical application of engineering where Loughborough really excels, and I love applying the engineering principles learnt in the lectures to real life problems. I was also attracted to the focus on team-based projects and assignments as they build team working skills, which are vital for industry. The engineering companies I spoke to specifically mentioned Loughborough’s Mechanical Engineering graduates as being extremely competent and sought after, which gave me added confidence and trust in the course.
