Hey @Harry Ong,

It's great to hear that you're interested in hearing about Loughborough

Have you taken a look at each of the course pages in detail? Here's Loughborough's page for its Materials Science and Engineering BEng course. You'll find details about modules, entry requirements and more information on that page.

I would also recommend seeing if there are any student stories available for your course if you want more information. Again, Loughborough's student stories are here.

I hope this helps if you have any other questions about Loughborough, let me know.
