Applying to Loughborough

Applications for all undergraduate courses at Loughborough must be made online through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS)*. This applies to all UK and international students.

How to apply

For entry in 2022, the application deadline is 15 January 2022. Applications received after this date will only be considered if places are still available. For more information about the application process visit the UCAS website.

Loughborough’s institution name is LBRO and our institution code is L79. The course code will depend on the degree to which you are applying.

Admissions Policy

In line with the University’s Admissions Policy, applications are welcomed from students irrespective of race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, gender, marital status, disability, religious or political beliefs, age, sexual orientation or socioeconomic background.

The diversity and wealth of experience that our students contribute to the life of our University is highly valued. As such we seek to widen access to, and participation in, higher education by raising awareness and aspirations of prospective applicants.

Find out more about the University’s Admissions Policy and other supporting information for applicants online.

Selection

Once your application has been received it will be individually assessed for academic ability and potential, as well as your interest in the subject. Some courses will require you to attend an interview or provide a portfolio to supplement your application. Information on which courses this is a requirement for can be found online. You should have achieved or be expected to achieve the typical offer requirements for the course. Meeting this standard, however, does not guarantee an offer. Many of our courses receive numerous applications for each available place and as such we cannot offer places to all those who attain the minimum entry requirements.

Contextual admissions

The University’s admissions process uses contextual information to provide insights into the context in which your academic qualifications have been achieved, to identify students with the greatest potential to succeed in higher education. Please see our website for further information about contextual admissions. lboro.ac.uk/ug/contextual-admissions

Offer holders

If you are offered a place, you will receive a communication setting out any conditions attached to the offer. Your offer will also be available to view on UCAS Track.

If you have not attended an interview, then you will be invited to attend a post-offer visit day which is a great opportunity to visit the campus and find out more about your course and the University.
