Biomedical engineering choice

Hey guys!
I got an offer from both uni of Sheffield and Loughborough but I’m stuck which one to choose for my firm
Could anyone please give me some info or advice on both uni’s!

Hi @pphy.2021_!
Huge congratulations on receiving those offers- you must be elated!
Have you been to an open day here yet? I would definitely recommend visiting the universities you are choosing between if you haven't already. You will spend 3-5 years living at your chosen Uni location (this is +- placement years/ masters/ foundation years)- so it's worth visiting to see which campus and vibe feels most homely and right for you! Open days also allow you the opportunity to check out the Biomed Engineering department and facilities, as well as chat to current students about their experience of the course.
There's so much to do in Sheffield and it's a super friendly, diverse city. I've lived in Sheffield for over 5 years now as part of my course and I intend to stay here afterwards- my Uni experience and the city itself have simply been amazing so far! We have hundreds of societies and sports clubs for you to get involved in, which are a great way to meet new people and try a new (or old) hobby! You can look at the various societies and sports clubs on offer here.
You can see on our website that the Biomed Engineering course here is held in high esteem, ranked number one in the National Student Survey for 'Teaching on the course' and 'Learning opportunities' in the subject of bioengineering, medical and biomedical engineering. I know a couple of engineers here (unfortunately not Biomed engineers) that say the facilities for Biomed are amazing, with many of them based in The Diamond building. You can read more about the course here.
If you had specific questions about the course, you could ask a current Biomedical Engineering student about their experience of the course via our online chat service here.
I hope this helps! Is there anything in particular that you were wondering about the course / the Uni/ the city itself? 😊

Hi, first of all congratulations!
so as someone who went to Sheffield I am going to be biased and say choose Sheffield. But obviously there's lot of things to consider. Sheffield is a Russell group UNI and it's also based in a good location with transport links and everything within walkable distance. So you get the perks of a city but get the sense of community. I really enjoyed my time there, there is lot to do and a huge amount of students societies. In terms of teaching, I found teaching accessible with most live lecture recorded so you can watch again and some online lectures. The lecturers were also really helpful and you get support from the school. I studied biomedical science so I know our department definitely overlap in some aspects. But yes if the there any other information you need to make your decision let me know and I'll answer them if I can.
