Loughborough has an outstanding reputation in the sciences

“It is an honour to be part of Loughborough, a University with internationally acclaimed research and outstanding teaching quality.

Looking to the future

As we strive to be at the forefront of scientific relevance by producing ground-breaking work and successful scientists we must continue to:

● Ensure that the most talented and able students, regardless of their social or economic circumstances, are given the support they need to study science at Loughborough

● Enhance the quality of the resources available to stimulate and motivate our scientists of tomorrow, enabling them to achieve their full potential

● Enrich the student experience within the sciences at Loughborough

Throughout Loughborough’s history, our alumni and friends have made a significant contribution to the development of the sciences at Loughborough. We now call upon you to make a difference to the scientists of tomorrow by giving to the Loughborough Sciences Fund.

Your support could be a single gift, a regular donation, or by remembering the sciences of Loughborough in your Will.

Please join me in making a difference to the future of the sciences at Loughborough.

Loughborough University Development Trust

Over the last 10 years, Loughborough University Development Trust has received almost £2 million in philanthropic donations to support funds like Loughborough Sciences.

In turn, many students have benefitted, and the University has been able to provide a world-class education and experience – as evidenced by Loughborough topping the Times Higher Education’s (THE) Best Student Experience poll five years running.

In part, this has been made possible by the generosity of alumni and friends of the University. Some have supported the Trust from its earliest days, and week by week the number of supporters is growing.
