Student Profile

Ricky

Loughborough has state-of-the-art teaching facilities and an extraordinary relationship with leading companies that can help me to grow as a future engineer. Additionally, there are plenty of sporting facilities and societies that have been very helpful in expanding my social life, making a healthy study and life balance.

Loughborough’s strong dedication to the automotive industry has been the main attraction point of my decision to study MSc Automotive Engineering at the University. This dedication can be seen through the amount of research and future-driven modules that are conducted inside the department, such as fuel-cell and battery technology. The department also has exquisite facilities that help massively with my studies, such as the laboratory activities using engine dynamometer and battery testing abilities. Most importantly, there is a study trip to MIRA proving ground, where students can design a specific driving test scenario to be carried out to collect real-world datapoints which will be used for a thorough analysis study. This experience is very valuable towards my progression as an engineer.

I also did an Automotive Engineering BEng DIS course at Loughborough University, graduating in 2020.
