Loughborough offers a unique course that has shifted its focus from the oil and gas industries to more sustainable technologies, unlike other traditional chemical engineering courses. As someone who is passionate about protecting the environment, this course allows for further development of solutions for the ever-growing global pollution crisis.
The chemical engineering department has made many investments within the course, this can be seen through the newly renovated department building which holds new state of the art lab facilities. Loughborough holds many strong ties with industry, providing wider placement and graduate jobs opportunities. As well as the course, I found campus life provides a sense of community.
Growing up I have always suffered with acne and finding a suitable treatment has always been challenging, thus I found myself constantly researching into different solutions and formulations. This sparked my initial interest in Chemical Engineering, and through research conducted on the course I hope to one day work in the household consumer goods/cosmetics industries. I have chosen chemical engineering because it is a versatile course, where there are a lot of different career paths to go into.
