About the University
A UK top ten university and the world’s top-ranked institution for sport-related subjects, Loughborough University is constantly evolving its marketing operation to meet the demands of a challenging higher education sector, add value to its students, staff, alumni and partners, and raise the profile of our East Midlands and London campuses around the world.
Loughborough University is a place for risk-takers. For those with the imagination and creative enthusiasm to face challenge and overcome it. The determination to work hard in pursuit of critical, incremental advances.
It’s a mindset that endures long past graduation, and nurtures a worldwide community united by the understanding that better isn’t born, it’s earned. This makes us stand apart from other institutions. It’s why we’re the world’s number one university for sport-related subjects. It’s why we’re consistently ranked in the UK top ten. It’s why we regularly walk away with top awards for student experience and facilities.
Creating Better Futures. Together is our bold and ambitious strategy that will guide the University over the next decade. It sets out our purpose, our values, and our aims, recognises the impact of our actions on the world around us, and reflects the challenges we face.
It’s a strategy rooted in a heritage that began with our founding in 1909 as a top-level technical college. Today, our global community of 3,800 colleagues and more than 19,000 students continue to harness the power of research, innovation and community to address global challenges. From our 523-acre campus in the East Midlands and our London campus on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, we operate an endeavour with an annual turnover of over £300m.
Our sense of pride is rooted in much more than the excellence of our facilities. We stand apart from other institutions in our commitment to striving to be better, and to make those small, incremental differences – the marginal gains – that improve lives, expand horizons and broaden opportunity and accessibility for all.
Our world-leading, internationally excellent research and innovation offering is testament to this. A degree from Loughborough is more than a superb qualification. It makes every graduate a part of our story, our global community, and our relentless pursuit of better.
