About Loughborough University

Loughborough University has an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research, strong links with industry, and unrivalled sporting achievement.

Loughborough is research-intensive. Its ethos from its earliest days has been to produce highly relevant research that solves real world problems to assist both business and industry, and improve people's quality of life. Nearly half of the University's income is for research, and its research partnerships and links with business and industry are the envy of other institutions
