Course info

Deepen your understanding of mathematics, the human body and how mathematics connects with physical applications with BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Sport Science - at the world's number one university for sports-related subjects.

Our BSc Mathematics and Sport Science degree is equally divided between two disciplines that perfectly complement one another. While sport science provides the physiological and biomechanical context of human performance, mathematics offers the rigorous framework needed to optimise efficiency and predict injury risks. By transforming physical potential into predictable results, this unique combination offers a competitive edge not widely available at other institutions. It is taught in collaboration with the internationally renowned School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. Over the course you will build a solid foundation in the essential areas of both mathematics and sports science. As you progress through our BSc Mathematics and Sport Science degree, you’ll have the opportunity to tailor the course to suit your interest by selecting from a range of optional mathematics modules.

Students union could have more social places/bars The campus is pretty and the library and study facilities are good, but could do with more tables

Feels like a very tight knit community, with lots of facilities available so close by. Something to improve could be the number and variety of societies offered

Plenty of academic support, and lots of sporting opportunities, however there isn't as many societies here as in other unis which could be improved.

The facilities are awesome, particularly if you love getting involved in sport. The worst thing I’ve had to deal with is the room booking system for societies is occasionally frustrating, though they are in the midst of reworking it now. Very good, can highly recommend coming here.

Loved living in faraday, got to meet so many amazing people in and was a very active hall. 9 am lectures on a Thursday should not be a thing!!

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

The lecturers are all very clear and concise and the course follows nicely from the A-Level maths syllabus. Living in halls is a definite change, but there is no bad accomodation at Loughborough, and it is all very reasonably priced. The events put on by the student union are frequent, and are easy to book and you can have an amazing time there. Going into town is easy using the cheap bus or by foot, but there is not much to do there, however there is some nice cafes and supermarkets nearby.

Great to meet new people from dufferent areas, can become overwhelming with work at times, could maybe space out exam times more

First year was hard to adjust to, especially being an international student but now in my third and final year I have a great flat and have met some really nice people. I also love my course.
