About
PartialTuition: Loughborough's own clean official 5-band fee table for '2026 Entry (Final)' runs Band 1 £24,700/year (used as the low end) up to Band 4 £33,000/year; the same page already lists 2027-entry bands (£25,500-£35,000) since the 2026 cycle has closed, noted for completeness but not used. Student size left blank: only an undated, rounded 'approximately 18,000 students' figure was found. THE rank '301-350' (banded, 2026) is confirmed from timeshighereducation.com. Guardian rank 11th UK (2026) is confirmed from Loughborough's own achievements page. QS rank left blank: only subject-specific QS rankings (e.g. '#1 in the world for sports-related subjects') and a separate QS Stars rating were found on Loughborough's pages -- no overall QS World University Ranking figure located for any edition. Russell Group non-membership confirmed against the current 24-member list. No official acceptance rate published.
