Based on 62 reviews
The university is a unique campus based arrangement. The course was varied offering an array of different subject sfrom marketing to statistics. It was a sandwich degree so I spent a year in work gaining valuable experience. This contact was useful as I got further paid work withthem when I finished university. It has a lot of sporty students and there is not a drinking culture like at other universities which I like. I liked the feel of the campus and having everything easily to hand. The town centre offers some shops and local cinema.
Great friendly staff and excellent standard of teaching. I did my undergrad here too and stayed on for the masters as it was such a good experience. They have delivered online learning so well and the facilities when they are open on campus are top quality. The design school are very supportive and give great opportunities for students in extra curriculars
Loughborough University offers amazing enterprise support for students interested in starting their ventures. Through 1-to-1 mentorship, funding opportunities, and practical workshops, I�ve developed real-world skills and refined my ideas. The university actively encourages innovation, making it a great place for any student interested in entrepreneurship. One of the few helpful departments.
