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.

We design our courses to ensure that they provide all students with the knowledge they need to develop an expertise in their chosen field, but also the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Our students gain a multitude of transferable skills through studying History and Politics, such as the ability to think and work independently, the acquisition of critical and interpretive skills, skills in IT and group work, the ability to communicate effectively and to develop and sustain an argument.
