Our research and impact

Research at Loughborough Our world-class research strengths span the arts, humanities, social sciences, sport, health, science, design, engineering and mathematics. By developing solutions to society’s biggest challenges like climate change and population health, we strive to make the world a better place. We’re challenging conventions from maths education to media communication, and innovating to transform transport and clean up energy.

Partnerships with business keep our research relevant. It’s one of the reasons we are the Times Higher Education’s Entrepreneurial University of the Year. Here are just a few of our innovative projects with global partners: TOXI-Triage: Revolutionising society’s response to emergency incidents. Head injury prevention: Raising standards to prevent serious and fatal head injuries in sport. Repoint: Innovating rail technology to improve reliability, safety and costs. The living wage: Helping families to achieve a decent standard of living. SONG: Providing sustainable energy to the poorest communities. Disability sport: Developing exercise guidelines for people with spinal cord injuries.

Opportunities for students Joining a university with such a passion for meeting real-life challenges is incredibly rewarding and enhances your learning experience – it’ll be difficult not to feel inspired by what’s going on around you.

Our vibrant research culture enhances our degree courses and inspires cutting-edge projects for our students. Research also underpins many of our collaborations with business, public and voluntary organisations, resulting in excellent placement and graduate opportunities. The combination of these opportunities with our commitment to the welfare and personal development of our students is a distinctive feature of the Loughborough student experience.
