There are good transport links for those travelling by car and plenty of car parking. The Student Union is always buzzing, lively and upbeat with lots of societies to get involved with and activities planned every month. The buildings and facilities are good however due to the large campus size, it can be hard to find important buildings such as: the library, student support and chaplaincy buildings. Overall, Loughborough University is a reputable institution and a great place to study for a masters degree.

The course content is excellent as it introduces us to the theories, computing skills and the latest trends in the Data Science industry. I believe that my career prospects will certainly increase after completing this course. However, in terms of subject facilities, some of the computer labs are not preinstalled with software that the student requires in lab sessions. Also, due to the intensive nature of this one year course (block teaching method), it becomes very difficult to apply for summer internships or gain further experience in this field. Tutor contact time is also very low with one meeting per semester. So far, I have enjoyed studying this course at Loughborough University.

I'm a part-time student and Loughborough has made a real effort to design the course to work for those studying part-time. The remote learning resources are really high quality, and the additional module enhancement days for part-time students work really well. I travel from quite far away to attend university, and I appreciate the ability to book rooms on campus, as well as to access the catering facilities (which are excellent value). Some of the buildings are a bit outdated, but overall the campus has a really nice feel, and has excellent facilities. Student support can be a bit slow to respond, but always provide a good service when they do get back to you. The careers service is particularly helpful. I've been to four Universities and worked at one more, and Loughborough is definitely my favourite.

The course is blended learning which works very well for me as I'm part time and usually have to watch lecture asynchronously. The modules are a good balance of theory and practice. Supplementary materials are excellent and tutors are responsive.
