Testimonials
For me personally the sports scholars visit to Loughborough University was extremely useful to help boost my motivation and inspiration, as well as my success within both academic results and sporting performance. It also gave me a greater understanding of what university life is like for a student-athlete and more information on the UCAS system.
As a school we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Loughborough University, the customised tour enabled our students to learn about the application process, the numerous academic courses and experience the fantastic sporting facilities available. It gave pupils a real insight into University life.
