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.

Human Biology includes study of a broad range of topics, ranging from molecular level through to population and global health. This has enabled our graduates to have gone on to pursue a wide variety of careers in areas ranging from DNA analysis to epidemiology.

Areas of employment and/or further training include postgraduate medicine and allied subjects, such as clinical science or physiotherapy; health promotion; scientific and medical research in universities, research institutes and the private sector; diagnostic lab work; teaching or technical support in schools or colleges; coordinating clinical trials; or scientific or clinical information, marketing or sales.
