Pinkal Patel

I was working as a Business Intelligence/Objects Developer.

I chose Loughborough University London due to its renowned student experience and its rankings in national league tables. 

The London Student Service team were always there throughout my journey and I got all the help I needed.

Alongside the programme and the location, the scholarship awarded to me by the University was the ‘cherry on the cake’ to select Loughborough University London.

I had a huge interest in Cyber Security so I knew I wanted to engage in further study related to this. My engineering background also helped me know this programme was suitable to me.

The most enjoyable part of my course was that there was always something new to learn. Things never remain the same and there is always something new coming up in the market every day. It was also very challenging which I enjoyed.

In my undergraduate study (BE in Electronics and Telecommunication) I learnt about the basics of my whole course. However, the master’s is a focus on the subjects of my interests in depth. I have therefore learnt the advanced level of what I had learnt in my bachelors.

I hope to see myself as a certified CISSP professional and working as a Penetration Tester or multiple major fields of Cyber Security.

I liked to spend my time reading about new technologies and new technological innovations in the market. As well as this, I liked to explore cities and travel to new places.
