Mathematics and Sport Science (with placement year) BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

The best thing about Loughborough university is there is always something to do or a match to watch. Sport is constantly being played everywhere. As well as BUCS, there is also an IMS league so that more people can join in with competitive sport. My hall is a community with a family feel. The Union is always full and no matter where you are in Loughborough, there is always someone you know. Everyone is very friendly. However, the Union and campus in general is fairly expensive which doesn’t help when being a student.

The campus feels cheery and community led. One of the best things about the uni is how the halls are placed and how everyone bonds together on campus. Could do better with access to mental health support & student services.

Sport Science, Coaching and Physical Education (with placement year) BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

There are lots of study spaces available, very quite and accessible a lot of the time. There is an amazing community feel around the university. The campus is great, meaning everything is close together, with not much travelling needed. I feel like i need more support 1 to 1 with aspects of my course and that isn’t an option.

Facilities, campus feel and safety are all amazing. I feel there could be more opportunities and events for people to network and make friends at the very beginning of the year.

The Loughborough Full-Time MBA

University rating (4)

Loughborough University is a renowned institution in the UK, offering a variety of programs at undergraduate, postgraduate and research levels. Its reputation for providing high-quality education has made it a popular choice for students from all over the world. I’ml highlighting the best parts of studying at Loughborough University and also suggest some areas for improvement in this review. ∆Best Parts of Studying at Loughborough University: High-Quality Education: Loughborough University is ranked as one of the best universities for master's education in the UK, making it a great choice for students who are looking for high-quality education. The university boasts experienced lecturers who not only cover academics but have practical experience with reputed brands like BritVic, Adidas, Deloitte, HSBC, KPMG, and more. This combination of theoretical and practical knowledge makes the education at Loughborough University truly valuable. Empathetic and Resourceful Administration: The administration staff at Loughborough University is one of the best. They are empathetic, helpful, and resourceful, which makes it easier for students to navigate the university. This was especially evident during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, when many students were studying away from their home countries. The administration staff went above and beyond to help students during these tough times. Holistic Development: Loughborough University focuses on the holistic development of its students, providing a well-rounded education that covers academics, group projects, sports activities, and social events. This combination helps students to develop both academically and personally, making the most of their university experience. Ideal Location: Loughborough University is strategically located in the town of Loughborough, away from the hustle and bustle of big cities like London or Manchester. This location provides a peaceful environment for students to focus on their studies. The university also has a full-fledged Pilkington Library, which is a heavily invested asset, allowing students to access a wide range of resources for their studies. ∆Areas for Improvement: Diversity: Loughborough University can improve by focusing more on diversity in its student batches. The university should aim to have a mix of students from different backgrounds and cultures, rather than focusing on a select few markets. Corporate Tours: The university can benefit from arranging more group or corporate tours for students. These tours would provide students with practical exposure to companies and give them a better understanding of the industries they are interested in. In conclusion, Loughborough University is a great institution for students who are looking for high-quality education, a well-rounded university experience, and a peaceful environment to study in. Although there are some areas for improvement, such as focusing more on diversity and arranging corporate tours, the university is well-equipped to provide students with an excellent education and university experience.

The opportunities to get involved in activities, however niche, are incredible. Campus has a great vibe and the university has a friendly and welcoming feel. The study spaces are great and really varied.

Computing and Management (with placement year) BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

It is a great university with friendly staff and students - there is always something to do and take part in. The facilities are excellent, especially the sports ones. The non-sports facilities like the library and other department buildings look extremely run down externally and visually aren't very attractive at all. It is also quite far into town to get to a supermarket if you don't want to have to pay to get a bus or a taxi.

English Literature BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

The union is the best place to chill with friends during the day and party during night. Really safe place as well because everything is inside the campus. The facilities are mainly new or well preserved. Mainly design school is quite amazing in terms of facilities. Would absolutely recommend.
