Creating Better Futures. Together

The Loughborough Experience
Loughborough University is well known for offering a life-changing experience, both academically and socially. We deliver innovative programmes that span a broad range of disciplines and we equip our students for every aspect of their life and career, by supporting them to gain vital experience and skills. Employers are impressed by the energy, enthusiasm and competitiveness that Loughborough graduates demonstrate.
We are making change happen
At Loughborough we think differently; we challenge convention; we solve problems, and we take action. Through our research we are finding answers, discovering the things that matter and adding to knowledge. Spanning the arts, humanities, business, social sciences, sport, health, science, engineering and mathematics, our research is creating positive change across society.
We integrate innovation to create impact
Innovation is at the heart of all our activities. It enhances our student experience, creates impact from research, and drives regional prosperity through our dynamic innovation community and business base at Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park (LUSEP).
We are a world-leader in sport
We are proud of our hard-earned global reputation for sport. From elite-level athletes to trying to keep fit, we ensure that everyone at the University can enjoy sport regardless of ability or interest. Through world-leading coaching, outstanding student experiences, state of the art facilities and superb events, we create an inclusive, positive and life-shaping sporting experience for all.
We take our responsibilities seriously
Sustainability and social responsibility are embedded into all our processes, operations and developments, to ensure we manage our environmental impact at both a local and global level.
We’re proud of our past
Loughborough University’s long history of success, as both a further and higher education institution, was established through the vision of our founding father, Dr Herbert Schofield. Iconic landmarks have stood the test of time, whilst our campus has expanded around them, and the University has grown into one of the country’s top universities.
We are committed to inclusion
Our community is a diverse body of people with different perspectives, values and attitudes. We are working to create an inclusive environment where such differences are shared and valued; where any unfair treatment or discrimination is challenged; and where all individuals can reach their full potential regardless of their background.

Climate Compatible Growth
The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) programme is funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to support investment in sustainable energy and transport systems to meet development priorities in the Global South.
CCG provides research and global public goods. These are to help countries develop economic strategies, plans, and policies to attract investment into low-carbon growth opportunities across multiple sectors. These are to support growth aspirations and better meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The programme brings together some of the UK’s leading research organisations and partners them with local researchers, governments,  Multinational Banks (MDBs), and International Organizations (IOs) to identify appropriate low-carbon development pathways. This includes assessing the most fit-for-purpose policy, regulatory, market models, and risk mitigation options to implement them. The programme and its partners will develop a range of open source tools, models, and datasets that will be global public goods available to all countries.
The long-term aims of CCG are closely aligned with the aims of the COP26 Energy and Transport campaigns to accelerate the low-carbon transition.
