Charter and Statutes
In April 1966 Loughborough was awarded its Charter, in recognition of the excellence achieved by Loughborough College of Advanced Technology and its predecessor colleges. Then called Loughborough University of Technology, it was the country’s first technological university. It was renamed Loughborough University in 1996.
The Charter and accompanying Statutes regulate The University's governance, elements of its structure, and some aspects of the day-to-day running of the University (e.g. terms of service for academic staff). It also forms the basis for the University Ordinances and University Regulations which cover detailed operational matters.
