FAQs

• What funding options are available for master's students?

  

  To help support the financial costs of further study, there are a variety of options available to you. Firstly, we have an Alumni Bursary, offering 10% off tuition fees for self-funding postgraduate taught students who are not in receipt of any other University award and obtained their previous degree from Loughborough University. Most schools and departments also offer a number of postgraduate scholarships to students who have applied for a taught programme, with awards of up to 20% towards your tuition fees. Please see here for the scholarships available for students studying at the London campus. Please note that these awards are not cumulative – you will automatically be awarded the single highest value bursary or scholarship for which you qualify. Funding may also be available from your government, such as the UK Government Postgraduate Loan, offering up to £11,570 for UK students ordinarily resident in England looking to study a master’s programme at a UK university. Scholarships may also be awarded by external organisations. To check whether you are eligible to apply for these or to view your other funding options, please visit our website. Some students choose to apply for part-time work to supplement their income. One of the most popular opportunities to do this is through the University’s Student Ambassador scheme which recruits students to help out at a wide range of events. Both the University and Students’ Union list a wide range of other vacancies, whilst our Careers Network can help you find and obtain part-time work. If you are on a student visa, please be aware that there are strict rules governing how much you can work during your studies. Details can be found on our website.

• Does my reference need to be academic?

  

  Your offer conditions may ask you to submit a satisfactory reference. This should be an academic reference, from your current or most recent place of study (if you have already graduated). If it is impossible for you to obtain an academic reference, a reference from your employer may suffice but please contact us to check if this will be acceptable. For a limited number of programmes we may ask for both an academic and professional reference, if this applies to you, it will be clearly stated in your offer email. It is your responsibility to submit your references to the University, or arrange for your referees to send them to us directly.

• How are applications assessed?

  

  We consider a range of factors when considering applications, including: average marks, a GPA or final grade from prior degree-level studies (whether completed or still incomplete at time of applying) marks or grades achieved for individual subjects or modules taken, particularly where they provide an important foundation for further study at postgraduate level the ranking or reputation of your previous university evidence of competence in English language your personal statement academic references from your current/previous university for some programmes, work experience or a professional qualification may be required in addition to an academic qualification for some programmes a portfolio, example of written work, or evidence of practical skills are required. The grade equivalences listed should be interpreted as a general indication of the marks required to gain entry. Due to the range of factors considered when assessing an application, it is impractical to adhere to exact percentage requirements or equivalences between marks gained in different countries.

• Is there an application fee?

  

  No, there is no fee for making an application, although international students requiring a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies for their Student Visa will have to pay a deposit of £2,500 before this can be issued.

• What documents should I submit upon application?

  

  Along with your references, we’ll also need copies of: an academic transcript of your undergraduate degree showing the modules studied and marks achieved a copy of your degree certificate, if you have already graduated a personal statement You can attach these to your application by uploading them in the application portal. If these documents are in your native language, you will need to supply copies in English language by an official translator.

• I have multiple names, which should I use in my application?

  

  You should use your full name, as it appears in your passport or birth certificate. If you only have a single name, rather than a forename(s) and a surname, as is typical in the UK, you should enter this in both the forename and surname fields of your application.

• I've completed my studies but haven't graduated yet

  

  We realise that some universities don’t hold their graduation ceremonies until later in the year. We can accept a copy of your final transcript plus a letter from your university to confirm that you have completed your degree and giving your final grade. We call this an award letter and it replaces the degree certificate.

• What are the English language requirements? What can I do if I haven't fully met these yet?

  

  All students are required to meet a minimum standard of English language ability and some departments require a higher minimum level. See our list of English language requirements for more information. There is no need for you to have completed your English language qualifications before you apply – most students are made offers conditional on achieving particular grades in their English language test. If you have not fully met the English language requirements asked for in your offer, it is possible that the school/department may allow you to take one of our English language pre-sessional programmes. Not all schools/departments will allow students to take an English language pre-sessional programme, so you should check the guidance carefully.

• When is the deadline for applying?

  

  All deadlines, including deadlines for applying, accepting and (for international students) paying your CAS deposit, are listed on our Key deadlines page.
