Mathematical Sciences Visit Days
Our applicant visit days are the perfect opportunity to get a feel for life and study at Loughborough University - and meet the staff and students who make Loughborough's Department of Mathematical Sciences what it is.
Even if you've visited campus before (for an Open Day or campus tour, perhaps) the applicant visit day is more focused on the Department and the course for which you've applied. You will be able to get more detailed information about the course from the staff that teach it.
The tour was really useful and it was great being able to talk to the students about the Uni!
