Studying with Us

Loughborough is a friendly market town in the heart of the country. It enjoys easy access by road, rail and air. The University occupies a single site campus less than a mile from the town centre. The campus offers great opportunities for academic studies, sporting achievement and social life. The nearby cities of Nottingham (15 miles) and Leicester (12 miles) are larger and more cosmopolitan and are easily reached by road or rail.

The Department's degree programmes aim both to provide a fundamental understanding of materials and to prepare students for employment. With friendly, approachable members of academic and support staff and an “open door” policy, students quickly feel part of this thriving, vibrant department. However, the student experience at Loughborough extends beyond academic studies and is enhanced by one of the best student unions in the country which provides a vast array of support, entertainment and advice

We offer a comprehensive range of undergraduate degree programmes and a superb choice of postgraduate degree programmes and research opportunities. We have high level international partnerships and provide LCMP Programme designed for international students. The facilities in the department are excellent, and have benefited from extensive refurbishment and upgrading in recent years, together with the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment.

We hope that studying Materials at Loughborough will enable you to get the most out of your time at University and provide a solid foundation for your future career.
