How to Apply
You can submit an application once you have received the official Loughborough University offer letter, as the information needed to apply is in your letter.
Once you have your offer letter you should go to the ATAS Website where you will be able to apply online.
Please contact the Postgraduate Taught Admissions Office pgtaught@lboro.ac.uk if you have any further questions.
Core and Optional Modules
ATAS also require information on the modules that make up the programme you have received an offer for. The University has already informed ATAS of the core modules of the relevant programmes but you will be asked to provide a list of the optional modules which you may want to take when you register as a student. This is only an indication as you will not be required to choose the specific modules until you arrive and register at the University.
The optional modules for each programme are as follows. Please click your programme name from the list below to go to your optional modules listing:
