In 2017, Loughborough University’s Formula Student car competed in three events. Many of our Industrial Partners have a close working relationship with Formula Student events and see this as an excellent opportunity to talk to prospective employees and gain exposure for opportunities available within their organisation.

The Formula Student events across the world are an excellent showcase for the future of Engineering and a fantastic opportunity to see some outstanding Motorsport. The overall outcome of this work is that our graduates leave University, as a qualified and well-rounded Engineer, possessing all the skills required to position themselves into our demanding Industry. In order to carry out these roles effectively, it is essential to develop good teamwork, communication and presentation skills. Dependant on the area in which an individual wishes to excel, they are able to join a relevant design group, or business area, which fosters their individual needs. Through Formula Student, Loughborough Students are able to apply their attained skillset, in a real life engineering and business scenario. The project is linked with some academic projects, however the fundamental design and manufacturing, is carried out on a purely voluntary basis. The Team consists of students from across our Campus and from any given subject area.
