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.

Roles of recent graduates have included artist, teacher, curator, workshop leader, art director, visual merchandising, designer, careers consultant, forensic photographer, and event manager. Many students graduate and go on to have established galleries and studio spaces of their own. Others have pursued further study at institutions including the Royal College of Art and the Royal Academy of Arts or have enrolled on Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE), curation and art therapy courses.
