Loughborough University was my first choice for a master’s degree because the MSc Criminology programme offered courses and activities that best matched my interests and future career goals. The university’s excellent reputation, along with its outstanding sports facilities, further motivated me to apply.
I especially valued how every module used real-life, contemporary examples to apply theoretical concepts. The engaging guest lecturers and interactive teaching style also made the course both interesting and practical.
I was impressed by the wide range of academic support available. From academic English sessions to postgraduate skills workshops, each resource helped me overcome challenges throughout the course. I believe these opportunities also equipped me with skills that will benefit my future career.
Loughborough was the best choice for me. The combination of knowledgeable and engaging lecturers, state-of-the-art facilities, and vibrant student life made my year both academically enriching and personally rewarding. If that sounds like the kind of experience you are looking for, I recommend reaching out to the friendly student services team and applying!

The highlight of my time at Loughborough was the people I met. Studying together, trying new sports, and going to weekly pub quizzes all created wonderful memories that I will always look back on with joy.
I thoroughly enjoyed using the sports facilities at Loughborough University. I even tried some sports for the first time, and it was great to have such an active outlet alongside my master’s degree.
My time at Loughborough not only provided me with valuable knowledge and skills but also connected me with professionals in the field of criminology. I am already collaborating on criminological research with people I met during my studies. In the long term, I intend to work with civil society organisations in the fields of crime prevention and rehabilitation.
