Best Student Experience
Loughborough University has topped the Times Higher Education’s (THE) Best Student Experience poll for the fifth year in succession.
The league table, published in the Times Higher Education magazine, reveals the views of thousands of undergraduate students on the factors that matter most to them, from the quality of teaching to student facilities.
According to the THE: “One university seems to have the edge when it comes to an excellent all-round experience. Top of the poll – for the fifth year in a row – is Loughborough University, which excelled in respect of its sports facilities, extra-curricular activities, campus environment, facilities, social life, students’ union and library.”
Commenting on Loughborough’s achievement, Professor Shirley Pearce, the University’s Vice Chancellor, said: “This is an absolutely fantastic achievement. We work closely with our Students’ Union to ensure that we provide an all-round experience that equips our students for every aspect of their life and career.
“This poll is well-deserved recognition of the continued hard work of all staff at the University and at the Students’ Union in delivering this first-class experience.”
Lucy Hopkins, President of Loughborough Students’ Union, added: “This survey is so important to students, as it takes into consideration the overall experience universities offer and not just their academic achievements.
“Increasingly, as well as academic excellence, universities must offer extra-curricular and volunteering opportunities that enable students to develop as people. I am proud that Loughborough has such a recognised track-record of producing well-rounded students who have the skills and experience to set them up for life.”
