Alumni Association

Stay connected to Loughborough after graduation

You become alumni once you graduate, and automatically become part of the Loughborough University Alumni Association — a diverse network of over 200,000 former students from around the world.

The Association provides you with 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, Twitter 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.

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.

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.

If you are thinking of starting your own business, graduates can join the Loughborough Enterprise Network to help turn their ideas into reality. The Start-Up Fund also offers the chance to apply for grants, so you can kick-start your entrepreneurial career after you graduate.

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 also several ways to get involved with the University after you leave.

From mentoring current students to acting as an international 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.
