When working as a Student Ambassador, I always told visitors that the University’s close-knit community means that by the time you graduate you could well know somebody wherever you go on campus.

Loughborough truly has something for everyone. The idea that it’s purely about sport is nonsense. You can rub shoulders with elite athletes as well as people who’ve never played a sport competitively in their life.

I chose my course because its strong focus on cultural and international topics suggested a global and modern approach to history. Combining this with how warm and welcoming the University campus feels made my decision a no-brainer.
