Some modules are really interesting whereas others completely awful and heavy on reading. Some lecturers just read off slides and don’t engage with the classes. Due to strikes, I’ve missed out on loads of lectures and as a result of that have limited options for my coursework me and feel that I haven’t learnt much in my degree. read more

Due to a smaller student to staff ration than other universities, students were known by name as well as specifics such as our specialisations and interests. This meant that I would be approached by members of staff from around the department who wanted to discuss my research ideas and were always keen to help out with my next ventures! read more

I loved both courses that I studied for; not only because I was fully invested in the subjects and that there were a wide range of optional modules that appealed to my specific tastes, but also because the lecturers were all friendly and knowledgeable. The standard of teaching was fantastic. I have left Loughborough with two degrees, but I have also enjoyed every second of working towards them. read more

Wish that we weren't still learning course content during Coursework weeks. Very distracting and puts a hold on work as I'm not sure whether or not I'll want to write on it or not - meaning it's all left to the last minute. read more
