Here at Loughborough we take pride in offering an experience and creating a community that you can be proud to be a part of. Loughborough University is proud of its long history as an institution of further and higher education. Thanks to the vision of its founding father, Dr Herbert Schofield, it has been able to grow and develop into one of the country’s top universities.
Our teaching... and learning offers academic excellence in a broad range of disciplines, from sport and exercise science to engineering, business and the arts, and was recently awarded Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). Our renowned student experience gives every student the opportunity they need to achieve their full potential. Our strong connections to industry boost these opportunities by providing students with access to placements. They also form the backbone of our enterprising outlook which is helping business to innovate, expand and improve performance.
Our approach to creating an exceptional student experience and delivering the highest level of teaching and learning is quite simple; we put our students at the heart of everything we do. The positive impact of this approach was highlighted in the National Student Survey 2017 results, when Loughborough was ranked the top mainstream university in England for overall satisfaction.
Our outstanding research is generating globally important work that is driven by society’s need for solutions to real-life issues, making it not only cutting-edge, but relevant too. Our reputation for sporting excellence, which spans performance, facilities, expertise and working partnerships, confirms our position as the number one university for sport. Our superb 440 acre single-site campus is the University’s most glorious asset, offering great facilities for students, staff and visitors to the University.
Our Students" Union is one of the very best in the country and is one of the only unions to be owned and managed by students. The elements above, combined with our focus and a strong sense of community spirit, has created something that is truly special and distinctive amongst UK universities.
Our students, graduates, staff and campus-based partners are at the heart of all we do. They’re the key to our continuous success. Within this close-knit community there is an atmosphere of determination and a will to succeed, which creates an environment that motivates everyone to be the best they can be. Our students are proud of their association with the University, with many returning to campus after graduation, to either continue with their education, partner with the University through work, or in some cases develop their professional career as an employee of the University
We also provide a diverse and multicultural environment with over 20% of our employee numbers represented by international members of staff, covering over 90 different nationalities. We attract outstanding academics who are enthusiastic about their subjects and leaders in their field.

That’s why every member of staff at Loughborough can access a full range of development opportunities. We are also proud to hold a bronze institutional award for Athena Swan; which shows our commitment to recruiting, retaining and promoting women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine and Manufacturing in Higher Education.
As a university we are renowned for the relevance of our research. Our results help business and industry to compete more effectively, shape public policy and ultimately improve the quality of people’s lives. Our research strengths span the arts, humanities, social sciences, sport, science, design, engineering and mathematics. Many of these individual strengths cluster around themes and we call these enduring world-class research areas our Beacons.
