Polymer Technology
I did my undergraduate degree in Sports Technology at Loughborough and decided I wanted to continue my education at the University as I love the student life here. After completing several modules on polymers during my undergraduate degree at Loughborough, I developed a real interest in the subject of materials and so decided to apply to study a Masters in Polymer Technology in the Department of Materials.

Birgit Dawidowski
MSc Student - Part time
Packaging Technology
I work for Nestlé as a Packaging Technologist at our Croydon head office. After having completed my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Packaging Technology in Germany, I decided that I would like to combine work experience with studying a Masters part-time. This is because I felt it would offer me the opportunity to tailor my Masters study to the exact needs of my job. I was also very keen to be able to immediately apply in practice the theory I had learnt at university.
