Official Loughborough University 2025 Applicant Thread

Hi! Surprised I'm the first here...

1) Computer Science, Mathematics & Further Mathematics, Music Technology.
2) Computer Science, it's been a huge passion for me and I really enjoy it.
3) A2 Predicted Grades: A*A*AB. AS Achieved Grades: AABB. GCSE Achieved Grades: 99999988884.
4) I've visited there before, as a family member went to Loughborough (now graduated), and I really liked it even without seeing that much of the university. Also the general area looks nice.
5) I'm sitting the TMUA next month but I don't think Loughborough requires it for my course, but other unis do.
6) Yes! There is one on Friday I will attend.
7) Excited but also a bit scared about independence.
8) Cambridge, Imperial and Warwick have all been on my radar, but nothing 100% set in stone yet.

Question: (only one for now)
How is student life at Loughborough?

I got an offer for psychology!

People who are experienced with Loughborough accommodation, would you recommend catered or uncatered?

Hi there!
Im confident in my ability to get the grades needed for the marketing course, although my predicted grades based on my mock exams don’t exactly reflect this.
1) criminology, biology, psychology and core maths
2) marketing, I incredibly interested in studying marketing further, especially at Loughborough. I really just think marketing is a skill that can help me with my own personal businesses
3) C,C,C,B
4) it’s not 10th in marketing for no reason, also from what I’ve heard the social and sports aspects of the campus are really good, two areas I’m really interested in being apart of.
5)none that I know of
6)I have not attended any opening days
7)quite excited, although a little worried on my chances of being offered placements with my predicted grades.
8)Nottingham and Kingston are some of my choices in this country, although I’m applying to Washington and Seattle abroad.
My question is, how likely am I to receive a placement for marketing during clearing. Is it competitive?

Does Loughborough consider disability as a qualifier for a contextual offer? If so what is a typical grade reduction?

What kind of activities are done during the design offer holder days?

Hi, how do you apply for undergraduate scholarships at Loughborough? Do they send you an email telling you you can apply after receiving an offer or is there a link to go to?

Morning - we’re awaiting the outcome of my daughter’s architecture interview. A little frustrating (though I appreciate the deadline for an answer hasn’t yet passed). She has her heart set on Loughborough.

Does it take longer to hear if it’ll be a negative response? It seems others have already heard back.
Thanks

No news is good news.
The team will try their best to get back to her this side of easter, but I can see quite a few colleagues have taken annual leave (and the university will be closed from Good Friday and will open again the following Wednesday), so it's not guaranteed.
They'll get back to her as soon as they can
