Loughborough University is a research intensive institution which undertakes high quality research across all its disciplines. The University is proud of its record and reputation for internationally recognised research that matters.

Since its earliest days the University has produced work that has a major impact on academic disciplines, public policy, the professions, business and industry. Nearly half of our income is for research, and our research partnerships and links with business, industry, local and national government, and the professions are exceptional.

The high quality and widespread involvement of staff in research at Loughborough means that postgraduate students are part of a vibrant research culture in which they are taught by academics at the forefront of their disciplines. Postgraduates become involved in current research activities and are provided with research skills and knowledge arising from top quality research practice.

Our Graduate School supports postgraduates and offers a personalised Research Training Programme, tailored to meet individual needs.
