There are about 12,000 undergraduate students, 4,000 graduate students (about 2,500 are from overseas of more than 100 countries) studying at Loughborough.
The university has been awarded 6 times the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, which is given by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in person to the UK’s best higher education institution of the year.
Loughborough University usually stays around tenth position in the UK university ranking by the major news papers, and for the past five years it has been voted the UK’s “Best Student Experience” in the prestigious Times Higher Awards reflecting its tremendous popularity among students.
