About the university

Why students choose Loughborough University

Best known internationally for sport, sports science and engineering, on a large single campus with exceptional facilities.

Both direct entry and foundation or pathway routes are available here. If your grades or English score fall short of direct admission, the pathway route is a genuine alternative to waiting a year.

Tuition, entry requirements and intake dates differ by programme and change each year. Ask us for the current figures for the course you are considering rather than relying on published averages.
