In-person teaching is a significant element in the Loughborough student experience. Our teaching delivery is based on providing as much in-person delivery as we can. We therefore normally expect students on all programmes (apart from those specifically designed for distance learning) to be able to attend classes in-person on our campuses.

Undergraduate students

We expect all undergraduate students to attend their studies in-person. However, if you have exceptional and serious health-related issues (mental or physical health) which mean in-person teaching might put you at significant risk we may be able to support you to study remotely.

Postgraduate Taught students

Based on the latest advice from the UK Government, the University expects to continue to deliver our teaching in-person, and therefore there are no arrangements to deliver the second semester online.
