The roots of Loughborough University lie in the Loughborough Technical Institute, which was set up in 1909. A royal charter in 1966 established it as Loughborough University of Technology, and the current name was adopted in 1996. Its principal campus occupies an extensive suburban site in Loughborough itself. Postgraduate study is the focus of a further campus in east London, at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which includes an innovation and enterprise hub where the university works alongside industry partners.
Approximately 19,000 students are registered, the great majority of them at undergraduate level, and academic activity is divided among nine schools covering engineering, science, design, business, the social sciences and sport. Sport lies at the heart of how the university defines itself. Loughborough enjoys international recognition for sport-related subjects, has an unusually dense cluster of high-performance sports facilities on campus and is home to the largest sports technology research group based at any university. The Times and The Sunday Times have twice made it their University of the Year, an accolade only a handful of institutions share.
Information for International Students
Loughborough's students come from more than 130 countries, and the International Student Experience Team helps those from overseas adapt to UK life throughout their course. A free coach service collects new arrivals from Heathrow Airport, and dedicated welcome events explain the support available to international students on campus. Guidance is also given on the Student visa and on how to request a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies.
Applicants who have completed 12 years of schooling but need a further preparatory year can join the International Foundation Programme, which Loughborough runs and teaches itself. Its pathways lead to degrees in engineering, science, psychology, sport science, social science, and business and economics. Loughborough normally asks for IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 6.0, though certain schools set a higher bar; pre-sessional English is an alternative route to meeting the condition. Undergraduates paying international fees who hold Loughborough as their firm choice and complete registration before the deadline have guaranteed accommodation in years one and two, as long as their second-year reapplication is made on time. Scholarships are open to international students, and graduates may qualify for the Graduate Route.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Loughborough University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Loughborough University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Loughborough University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
