Why Loughborough?
Established in 1909, Loughborough College is steeped in history and internationally renowned for providing excellent levels of high-quality education, confirmed by Ofsted and the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA).
With its fantastic range of courses, first-class facilities, and a fresh approach to modern teaching and training, why go anywhere else?
The College is located on a vibrant campus situated opposite Loughborough University and about a 15-minute walk away from the town centre.
Loughborough itself is a thriving university town in the heart of England with plenty on offer for students.
It is also an ideal base from which to explore the rest of the UK. With its fantastic rail links, you could be in Manchester in two hours or London in an hour and a half. In addition, East Midlands Airport is only 13 kilometres away, offering flights to many of Europe’s major cities.
Our international community
Welcoming students from over 40 countries, we are proud of our growing multi-cultural community.
As part of Loughborough Students’ Union (LSU)—ranked Number 1 for student experience-- you can become a member of over 100 different clubs and societies, including many international societies which attract membership from around the world.
Our international graduates speak passionately about their experience with us and the extra support that is made available to them throughout their education.
What I like most about studying at Loughborough College is that everyone is kind and everyone tries to help you if you have a problem. They also give you lots of opportunities to improve your English.

Progress Tutor
Every international student at Loughborough College is assigned a dedicated Progress Tutor who takes a special interest in their academic development, helping them to plan their work and offering advice on further study.
Progress Tutors undertake regular reviews to make sure that students are progressing on their course and achieving their targets. If students have any problems with their course, their Progress Tutor will support them by liaising with other College staff and tutors.
They will try to help resolve any issues related to the student’s academic programme of study, as well as personal issues which may be affecting their progress.
At the start of the programme, students meet with their Progress Tutor to discuss study plans, timetables, the structure of their programme of study and life at the College.
The Progress Tutor also guides and supports students during their UCAS application and specialist advice is given to assist students in making their university choices and deciding which course is best for them.
My time at Loughborough was a totally new and different experience. My programme was arranged in such a way that it enabled me to be independent and settle in easily. The frequent advice from my Progress Tutor, as well as the support from my teachers and the International Team, made my stay at Loughborough College very easy.
