Thinking about postgraduate study? Explore your opportunities at Loughborough

If you’re an undergraduate student and you don't feel ready to leave just yet, why not consider studying a master’s or PhD with the University?

You can find out more about the range of courses we offer on our website.  

We offer a variety of support to help guide you in this exciting next phase of your academic progression, details of which can be found below.  

Financial support 

Whether you go straight from graduation to continue your studies or go out to industry and decide to return to education later, if you pursue your postgraduate degree at either our Loughborough or London campus you will receive 10% off master’s tuition fees or 20% off doctoral tuition fees.  

There are government student loans available too; you can get up to £12,471 for a master’s loan and up to £29,390 for a doctoral loan. An alternative option is a loan with the Sir Thomas White Charity, which provides education loans up to the sum of £10,000 to postgraduate students who have been resident in Leicestershire or Rutland for the past three years. Eligibility criteria for the loan can be found on our website.  

You can browse a full list of degree funding and scholarship options for postgraduate study on our webpages. 

Careers support 

According to the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey, the main reason students choose to study at a master’s level is to improve their career and employment prospects. The Careers Network is committed to supporting you with our skilled and experienced advisers who can help you make informed, successful transitions to the next stage of your career. 

Whether you want to book an appointment with an advisor, attend one of Master’s Futures events, or seek support finding a job, they are here to help. Find out more. 

Additionally, the team provides a wide range of support for Doctoral Researchers. They offer advice, guidance and coaching to support your desired career, whether that’s in academia, industry or setting up your own business. Learn more.
