• Typical offers are based on the Standard XII school leaving qualifications. When awarded by CBSE, ISCE or West Bengal Exam Boards, we typically ask for results in the region of 78% - 88% average performance from best 4 subjects. For other state boards, we would be looking for achievement between 83% - 93% from best 4 subjects. Specific subject marks at Standard X or Standard XII may be required for some courses.
• Students with A Level or IB qualifications will be considered for direct entry to undergraduate degree courses. 

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 £28,600 annually, to study in Loughborough University.

Our first cohort from this new programme graduate this year. Graduates from our bioscience programmes have secured graduate jobs, as research scientists in universities, research industries and the bioscience industry, as well as NHS clinical scientists and genetic counsellors. Bioscience graduates have also gone on to careers in the development of cell therapies, product development and testing, clinical trials coordination, research administration in academia or charities, and teaching. Some students have also chosen to progress onto postgraduate study.
