Optimising your employability

Every single one of our undergraduate courses offers the option to include a year in industry. Year after year record numbers of employers seek to recruit Loughborough students for placements, internships and graduate roles, attracted to their wide-ranging skills, adaptability and determination to succeed.

Being a Loughborough student is about so much more than the few years you’ll spend here with us. We want you to move on with the skills, confidence and capability needed for a rewarding career.

The Careers Network

Our award-winning Careers Network team works closely with academic schools and departments across the University to ensure that every student has access to excellent careers advice and support.

This includes:

As well as the largest annual university careers fair in the UK with over 200 employers on campus, we hold lots of sector-specific events, helping our students to meet employers and secure high-quality placements and graduate roles.

Our graduate-level employment outcomes are consistently above the national average. The opportunities and support provided by the University can help you to achieve your best, because we pay just as much attention to your future potential as we do to your student experience.

We have excellent links with a large number of high profile employers as well as an ever-increasing number of smaller and medium sized organisations who all value students and graduates with the ‘Loughborough experience’.

It’s tricky to define but employers comment on how ‘well-rounded’ and employable Loughborough students tend to be. They like the range of extracurricular activities that students here have access to, as well as the quality of their academic courses. Many employers are also directly involved in the design and delivery of our degree courses.
