The cost of studying at Loughborough University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £23,000 annually, to study in Loughborough University.

Through participating in these external activities, students can boost their employability and promote their work to major employers. Competitive opportunities include Premiere Vision (Paris), New Designers (London) and NextGen; in the past students from similar courses in the department have collaborated on projects with employers including Milliken, Alexander McQueen, and H&M.
