Definitely a great university for sports enthusiasts as it has a variety of excellent sports facilities. Helpful and friendly staff all around the campus to help you when in need & excellent interaction between the university staff and the students!
Absolutely brillant. From academic to sports facilities it has everything. So many opportunities and always a friendly face around to help. Going to Loughborough has helped me develop as a person and develop skills that have helped me become a better person and more employable. Also with the university offering placement opportunities across a wide range of fields, its another reason why it is brilliant and helping us as students to be more likely to get a job once they have given us a brilliant, fun and enthusiastic lectures to help us achieve the best degree we can.
After switiching from studying sports therapy at Coventry to now studying Sport & Exercise Science, I can honestly say this has been the best decision I have ever made in my life. For those of you who are looking to study Sport At Loughborough, the facilities on offer here are incredible and the amount of extra curriculular sport you can get involved with is endless just depends on how much time you have spare. The one thing I would suggest is Maybe doing a course like sport and business management as you get to skip a few of the boring modules that you have to do and it gives you more options if you are looking to do a placement year.
The student campus is friendly and there are always activities going on to get involved in outside of lectures, plus two very good gyms. However, it is a very male dominated atmosphere and if you're not sporty then it is slightly difficult to get involved. There are multiple societies to join though.
The campus is great and caters for all your needs. The accommodation is cleaned and kept to a high standard. If you have any problems they are quickly resolved. The library is big with lots of spaces to work and it's good that it's open 24 hours during exam periods. Te opportunity for sport is also really good and the facilities are amazing.
Honestly best decision of my life to attend Loughborough through an exchange program. Has got everything you need. You will definitely make friends for life and the whole experience of being at Loughborough makes doing a degree so much more enjoyable. And you have access to pretty much all the best facilities for anything! Honestly have nothing bad to say.
Fantastic university. with great accommodation, courses, nightlife, socialising, choice of sports and activities. It has held me in good stead for jobs post graduation with continuing friendships and opportunities
Great sporting facilities, fantastic student's union, and a fantastic campus community. It is easy to see how Loughborough University continuously reaches into the top 5 rankings every year, with it's facilities, sports teams, and friendly community living up to their global reputation.
I've had a fantastic time as a student at Loughborough. My course is great, my social life is awesome. The job prospects are also fantastic, I've been offered jobs with several of the largest investment banks
Some universities are very good at teaching and motivating you to learn yourself, those universities have high standarts for their graduates in terms of work-specific skills, and they become experts in their respective feilds. Loughborough recognizes that work-specific skills are very important, but emphasize that hard work and remembering all the theories is not everything employers seek. You need to have work experience, therefore most courses have an industrial placement year. You need to have a good personality, so that you are an easy person to work with, therefore we have loads of social clubs, sports teams and social events, like charity. Loughborough University highly values well-rounded personalities and therefore encourages students to have a wide range of interests, hobbies and extracurricular activities, which help to develop as a personality, and helps to ensure that the graduates will continue to grow not just as an employee, but also as an independent personality and thinker. I think Loughborough University teaches how to become a better person, not just a worker, and that is super important in a world were often moral values come second to materialistic values and becoming rich. Loughborough University staff and Students Union will always do anything to make your time here the best time of your life, and so that you are happy with your future prospects after graduating.
Great uni from start to finish! Freshers was strong and Loughborough Design school has given me a brilliant platform to begin my career in Design. Just putting Loughborough University on my CV and portfolio draws attention and puts us above other students when applying for placement and jobs in the creative design industry. Industrial Design - Brilliant course. Really enjoyed the entrepreneurship and innovation module. New design school is brilliant with amazing facilities.
Incredible university on a great campus! Has the best sporting and academic facilities to allow students to excel in all areas. People really don't lie when they say that Loughborough students walk on water!
Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, incredibly easy to get around campus and the town. My lecturers and supervisors have always been willing to help, regardless of when you need them. Great student experience.
Brilliant time here in loughborough, theres so much to do at the uni, so much to get involved with, just juggling time for all of it is a big issue. I am really enjoying myslef and it has exceeded my expectations.
amazing and passionate lecturers. the whole feel of the university is of one big family, sure it may not be in a big city but it is a more intimate place to be with almost every first year on campus so you are never far from a friend!
First year student living at home, settled in pretty well, course is interesting and the lecturers have been good. There is a lot of emphasis on sports, but I don't play any but I'd say a majority participate in at least one sport.
Loughborough is an amazing university, everyone you meet is so friendly and you'll meet friends for life. The quality of sport is second to none at Loughborough!
Great campus and facilities with a wide range of things to do and get involved in. Nightlife may not be exceptional in the area but the students union makes up for it.
4.5
Brilliant university giving you the chance to go further with all the help you require. The course i have chosen fully explains the nature of the degree and how it is implimented in real life situations. The university also has events held on campus for all individuals to get to know eachother and what additional things are available on campus.
