How to apply

It is very important that you only apply to Loughborough University if your subject is covered by an agreement and you have been nominated by your home university.

Application process

All incoming exchange students are required to complete an application form and a learning agreement, which will be emailed directly to nominated students by their host School/academic department here at Loughborough.

Your application form and choice of modules will need the approval of your home institution. 

You will need to upload a copy of your passport data page and a recent academic transcript.  If you are coming to Loughborough for a Full Academic Year and require a Student Visa, you may also need to demonstrate evidence of how you meet the University's English Language requirements.
