At Loughborough, we combine world-class research with an enterprising outlook.

We enjoy unparalleled sporting achievement.

Our accomplishments are built on the hard work and high standards achieved by our staff and students.

We’ve created something distinctive and truly special.

Our determination to succeed motivates everyone to be the best they can be.

We continue to flourish.

Loughborough is at the heart of England in the northernmost part of the county of Leicestershire. Being centrally placed, it is well served by road, rail and air.

London is one-and-a-half hours away by train, Birmingham one hour and Manchester and Leeds around two hours.

We also have an incredible postgraduate campus, set right in the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. Its convenient location means Stratford International Station is within walking distance and London City Airport is only 15 minutes away.

An industry-first technology developed at Loughborough has the potential to significantly cut

nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in diesel engines. Scalable for any sized

engine, the technology extends the operation of the selective catalytic

reduction system to low temperature exhaust conditions.

A risk management system developed at Loughborough

has helped the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs manage more than 200 animal health threats, facilitating decision-making

and the prioritisation of limited resources. The expertise is now

being applied to address bio-security threats worldwide.

Pioneering social policy work has raised awareness of young carers, and contributed to the Care Act 2014 and the

Children and Families Act 2014. A screening tool developed at

Loughborough is now used worldwide to identify and work

more effectively with young carers.

In less than a year we’ve seen a significant increase in applications to the Knowledge Transfer Partnership

scheme, which links small to medium companies to the expertise they need

to grow their business and gain a competitive edge. Up to 67% funding

is available to help them launch products, break into new markets

and embed new skills.

Loughborough Enterprise Network connects a community of students and graduates creating space for

entrepreneurial minds to be inspired, share ideas, develop expertise and

secure funding for start-ups. In three years, there has been a 95% increase

in students engaged in enterprise activities and our graduate incubator

has nurtured 50 businesses, created more than 80 graduate jobs

and 67 internships in six years.

Over 60 LUSEP companies provided invaluable student placement

opportunities last year, including Alcuris which is developing connected healthcare

technologies that help vulnerable adults live fulfilling, independent lives for longer. Manufacturing Engineering

graduate Alex Nash founded the company in 2016, shortly after graduating. Alcuris

has raised £630k investment, which is expected to rise to £1.6m by the end of

the year, creating 10 jobs.
