Alumni Association
Stay connected to Loughborough after graduation
When you graduate, you will become alumni of the University and you will automatically become part of the Loughborough University Alumni Association — a network of over 200,000 former students around the world.
As alumni, you have the opportunity to stay part of the Loughborough family. You can remain connected to your friends, take advantage of networking opportunities at a professional and social level at alumni events, and access benefits and support.
Staying in touch
To ensure we can keep in touch, you need to consent to being contacted by the Alumni Association. You can do this online through the Student Self-Service Portal.
You can also find the Alumni Association on Facebook, X and LinkedIn, so feel free to connect with us!
By consenting to hear from us, you’ll receive our monthly e-newsletter, advertising the latest alumni news and events, as well as bespoke emails about relevant opportunities.
For our international alumni, we also have a range of WhatsApp and WeChat groups, so that you can connect with fellow alumni in your country.
Events
As a member of the Alumni Association, you can access a range of events throughout the year, including sports activities and reunions, and careers events. These are held on campus, around the country, internationally, or online. Find out more about the latest alumni events.
Benefits
You can access a range of benefits after leaving Loughborough including continued access to the Library, alumni rates for the on-campus gyms, and discounts on overnight stays at the Burleigh Court hotel. You can also benefit from alumni discount on postgraduate courses.
Networks
Alumni have the chance to connect and network with people around the world, meet fellow alumni at our events, and support the University. There are several alumni groups around the world. They provide alumni with opportunities to network, and they are supported by volunteer Global Alumni Ambassadors.
Careers help
You are welcome to access the help and support offered by the Careers Network and the Enterprise Team, just like if you were still a student, for five years after leaving.
Graduates have the opportunity to receive regular careers updates, which include job opportunities straight to your inbox, for a year after graduation. The Careers Network is here to help you to progress in your career, explore changes in career direction, offer help with job applications, and more.
For entrepreneurial support, you can continue to engage with the Loughborough Enterprise Network.
Postgraduate study and bursaries
As a member of the Loughborough Family, you can access discounts on postgraduate study.
Our further study bursaries are available at the Loughborough and London campuses for postgraduate taught and research programmes, providing a great opportunity to continue your Loughborough journey.
Graduate outcomes survey
The University is always keen to find out what our graduates go on to do.
The Graduate Outcomes Survey is a national survey for graduates which aims to find out about your experiences at University and what you have gone on to do since your graduation.
The survey results are really important to us. They help us provide current and future students with information about the value of study at Loughborough and the range of careers and additional study destinations of our students.
We are also required by the government to collect this information, so please look out for future emails from the University about the Graduate Outcomes Survey.
Giving back
There are several ways to get involved with the University after you leave.
From mentoring current students to acting as a Global Alumni Ambassador, giving back to Loughborough is a great way to stay connected.
As alumni, you are the University’s greatest ambassadors and advocates, and you can help to build Loughborough’s reputation worldwide by spreading the word about the 'Loughborough experience', wherever you may be.
Share your #LboroJourney
As you come to the end of your studies at Loughborough, it’s a nice time to reflect on your experiences.
You may have seen us asking alumni to share their #LboroJourney stories recently. Now, we want to ask you the same thing. Has Loughborough helped you to land your dream job? Are you an international student who has gained new experiences in the UK, or have you developed skills that are set to benefit you in your future career? Maybe you’ve made friends for life and got involved in all kinds of societies and projects!
Whatever your Loughborough experience has been, we’d love to hear from you in a short video using #LboroJourney.
Share your story by 31 August 2025 for the chance to win a £100 prize!
Find out more about #LboroJourney on the Alumni Association website. There, you will find details on how to film your video, terms and conditions of entry, and a submission form as well as inspirational stories from alumni.
