Product Design Engineering with a Foundation Year, BEng Hons FullTime
for the whole of year one we've only done one project where we actually got to design, and the rest has been an engineering focus. I understand the importance of building that foundation of knowledge to inform our design but that foundation is of no use if we are not developing the skills to actually design. I cant see how the lack of design projects will be beneficial when applying to placements and future jobs as our portfolios will be lacking. The teaching quality is also poor with the average lecture just being the lecturer reading off a badly made PowerPoint. It makes me question where the 9 grand has been spent as it is certainly not worth the money

Obviously 9 grand a year is questionable, like £20 per lecture, don't really know where all that money goes. Some lecturers are s*** and I would sack them if it was up to me, but some are really great and make everything really easy to understand. read more

We have so much available to us in our department. Some of it is even available 24/7 for us to use. The course is very challenging but is accredited by 2 different engineering bodies (RAeS and IMechE) and is a preferred programme for BAE and others. read more

Chemical Engineering, BEng Hons FullTime
Challenging course (but in a good way!). Keeps you on your toes and has a wide range of courseworks [CAD drawings, Excel based problems, Maple Sheets (Maths Software)]. Modules vary in difficulty but a good variety of topics nonetheless. Weekly tutor sessions add a paternal factor where problems both relating to the course and uni life can be discussed for quick settling in and all lecturers easy to contact. All modules have problems classes to cement understanding from lectures and lecturers are more than happy to explain anything you don't understand. More and more lectures starting to be recorded for students to access outside of lecture theatres to complete missing notes or when something isn't well understood. Chem Eng companies always pop in to give info about placements/graduate schemes where a Placement Year is more than available for this course. read more

Robotics, Mechatronics and Control Engineering, BEng Hons FullTime
The Robotics, Mechatronics, and Control Engineering BEng (Hons) course at Loughborough University is good value for money. The teaching is high quality, and tutors are helpful and supportive. The course covers everything you need to know about robotics and engineering, with lots of hands-on learning and useful theory. Additionally, it is a really hard course and there are many modules we take. Time management is the key to succeed in this course. It’s a great program for anyone who wants to get into robotics and automation. read more

Automotive Engineering (with placement year), MEng Hons FullTime
I have really enjoyed my first year of Automotive engineering at Loughborough. The course gives a good outline of the engineering basics, with 2 automotive specific modules to allow everyone to build a solid foundation of engineering principles ready for the remainder of the course. For the most part, the lecturers are good and their teaching resources are helpful and well explained. Loughborough also has very good ties with the industry, as we have had many industrial lectures and various different companies coming onto campus, offering advice and placement opportunities for students throughout the year. The course is a lot of work but good fun, the highlight being designing and building an autonomous small car that we test at the end of semester 2. read more

Product Design Engineering (with placement year), MEng Hons FullTime
I have really loved my degree, I think it strikes an ideal balance between practical work and theory. All lecturers are very approachable and passionate about their field of study which is very inspiring. In particular, I have enjoyed the 'project'- based modules, both individual and group, which require me to design a product from scratch, and build a working prototype to meet a brief. The opportunity to design absolutely anything in some cases is really fun and exciting. Particularly as there is a chance your product could be sponsored by industry after you graduate. There is a good variety of modules on the course too. In first year you will revise basic engineering concepts and study core maths, CAD, and physics.Across the years the modules become more and more specific, for example software engineering, healthcare engineering, engineering management. The course sets you up to be a well rounded engineer, ready for a management role or entrepreneurship! read more

Really enjoy my course however through first semester my tutor being timetabled into a lecture when our allotted time was given on our timetable led to me and my tutor group to be at a severe disadvantage to others on my course especially with assignments and it’s hard to reach out to someone who I’ve never met face to face for help or advice in my opinion so feel as if if they are being a tutor should be able to be there for their students read more
Product Design Engineering with a Foundation Year, BEng Hons FullTime
for the whole of year one we've only done one project where we actually got to design, and the rest has been an engineering focus. I understand the importance of building that foundation of knowledge to inform our design but that foundation is of no use if we are not developing the skills to actually design. I cant see how the lack of design projects will be beneficial when applying to placements and future jobs as our portfolios will be lacking. The teaching quality is also poor with the average lecture just being the lecturer reading off a badly made PowerPoint. It makes me question where the 9 grand has been spent as it is certainly not worth the money read more

Originally studying mechanical engineering and transferred on to the Sports Technology course. The staff are very supportive and take the time to get to know students, this is helped by having a small group to start with.
