After looking at multiple colleges, I chose Loughborough College after attending the Open Day. I was able to talk to one of the business lecturers at the event and felt Business Studies would be a good fit for me.
Over the past two years, I've been able to gain in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the business environment. My tutor is enthusiastic, ensures that we keep on top of our work and is on hand to help if we are struggling. This support seems to extend across college staff, and it seems they generally want to provide a positive college experience. The department is well run with an experienced team who have a talent for teaching. I have been able to gain so much knowledge while studying here.

As a second-year student, I got to take a 315-hour industry placement at Champions UK PLC - a national award-winning marketing agency. It has been a great experience that I am in the process of completing. It has allowed me to work in a professional corporate environment and work with celebrities such as Mo Farah and Marco Pierre White. In addition, I have developed my interpersonal skills, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills and have received a job offer when I complete my placement.
So far, Loughborough College has been a very positive experience, and I have enjoyed my time here. The course is flexible, with attendance required on-site 3 days a week, giving me the freedom to complete assignments and extra study in my free time.
The facilities are brilliant, and I was impressed with the college's approach to the pandemic. Classrooms were deep cleaned before we arrived each day and maintained throughout. I have regularly used the dedicated study areas, the library and the canteen area.
With the skills and knowledge I have acquired at industry placement and college, my next step is to find a degree apprenticeship in project management with a company like Bentley Motors, BAE Systems or Airbus.
