I find the group discussions and debates extremely interesting, as there is always a wide variety of opinions within each class.
The lecturers are engaged and invested in their students, and always so helpful if you ever have a query or want some advice.
I really enjoy the fact that my degree is always linked back to modern day society, and we can discuss how big decisions impact the world from a political, economic, and philosophical viewpoint.
Spending 4 months in Canada was an unforgettable experience and I’ll always be grateful to Loughborough for giving me the opportunity and support to take part in such a programme.
The lecturers in my department are extremely supportive and helpful. They give you all the information you need in order for you to improve your grades.
What I particularly love about my course is that it constantly challenges the way I think and the way I perceive certain issues, especially socially and politically.
I was motivated to continue my study at postgraduate level at Loughborough to help develop my academic and research skills, as well to dive deeper on a specific element of Politics and International Relations – Security – which I find fascinating!
I knew that I wanted to specialise my knowledge in this particular area and continuing my studies as a postgraduate was the best way to do this.
Trust in the reason that you've succeeded academically before. A PhD will be hard, but your strongest card to play is almost certainly the one you hold in your hand already. Don't keep it up your sleeve.
