Design

We are looking forward to welcoming you on to campus for your forthcoming Visit day. This is a great opportunity for you to get an enhanced experience of what Loughborough has to offer. A more subject-focused event than our Open Days you'll get the chance to meet lecturers and current students, you'll also have the chance to spend some time getting to know other applicants and make connections before you even arrive on campus as a student.
