Loughborough University Guide 2019: Freshers week & teaching
Teaching
Loughborough is committed to maintaining an international reputation for world-leading research and our success feeds directly into teaching through an emphasis on research-led practice and consistent investment in state-of-the-art teaching facilities. In 2015, we opened the West Park Teaching Hub which offers a variety of teaching spaces and accommodates a range of student learning styles. We have recently opened our state-of-the-art STEMLab, a £17 million project that provides specialist laboratories and workshops to those studying courses in science, technology, engineering and maths.
As well as providing the UK’s best student experience for the past decade (Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2017) we pride ourselves on preparing students for graduate life after Loughborough. We recognise the importance of developing strong industry links, which is why all of our undergraduate courses have the option to incorporate a paid placement year as part of your degree. Students are supported in reaching their full potential and our graduates continue year-on-year to be highly sought after within an increasingly competitive job market.
