Hi there!

I would suggest emailing [email protected] with your UCAS Personal ID Number, e-mail address, full name and DOB, and they will update you on the status of your application.

Good luck!

Hi, I'm a first year student researching transferring universities potentially to Loughborough for my 2nd and 3rd year, do you accept transfer students, and what are the requirements if you do? Does it help that I received an offer for my course when I applied though UCAS?
Hi, I’m a (very😅) mature student and I’ve an interview for the BA in fine art coming up. I’d love to know what to expect from the online interview and how many people tend to be interviewing and also what it’s like to study art at Loughborough. Thank you!

Hi @clumsieee,

I can answer your question!

I've spoken to our Admissions Office and they have said that we do consider applications for Year 2 entry for a number of our degree courses. Details can be found here. You can read through the information provided on this webpage for more information. It includes the guidance that students must have met our original entry requirements for the course they are interested in. If you require any additional support, you are more than welcome to email the Admissions team directly at [email protected]. You should provide full details of all of your qualifications to date and your current course.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to ask me any further questions if you have any :smile:

Thanks Lindsay that’s really helpful - even with all my googling I hadn’t come across that student stories page. I really hope I get a place - it’s my first choice by miles.

Hi @IsobelBuist

Congratulations on your offer!

The team on TSR don't deal directly with admissions but if you email [email protected] with your full name, UCAS Personal ID and the course you've applied to they will be able to help you.

I'm not sure the specific number of hours of lectures you would have but if you email [email protected] they should be able to tell you.

If you have any other questions just let us know :smile:

Jess
