I would strongly recommend doing your master’s degree at Loughborough. We have a strong university culture where you will definitely grow your skills and knowledge.
Why did you choose to study your programme at Loughborough University?
I was already at Loughborough University studying my bachelor’s degree in management prior to enrolling on the master’s course. I definitely wanted to do a master’s in human resource management while still being involved in the University lifestyle.
Loughborough University made sense to me because I was familiar with a lot of the great lecturers that I knew were going to be teaching on the master’s course, giving me a lot of confidence that this was going to be a high-quality programme.
Why did you choose to continue onto further study?
I wanted to improve my employability by becoming a specialist in human resource management, building on the generalist knowledge of my bachelor’s degree to improve my employability.

All of my lecturers have been accessible and friendly when asking questions around coursework. They are very responsive and helpful whenever I have had any questions.
