Innovative Curriculum
From inspiring research collaborations to live projects between students and industry, Loughborough is transforming the way universities and organisations interact with each other, closing the gap between industry and academia.
As part of your curriculum, you will benefit from inspiring guest lectures and events, and research-led teaching. Students can get involved in a range of collaborative activities. The whole campus in-curriculum opportunity is Loughborough's Collaborate programme consisting of the following pathways:
- The Collaborative Project – students from all seven institutes work in small teams on a brief posed by an external organisation
- The Collaborative Dissertation – individual students from all disciplines have the option to apply to work on a research question that has been developed by an external organisation or they have personally sourced, for their dissertation thesis. This can happen while the student is placed inside the organisation (internship-based) or remotely (project-based).
Industry-focused recruitment workshops and networking events are hosted throughout the year, and feature representatives from a range of local, national and international employers and businesses. Together these events provide you with countless opportunities to meet top employers and gain expert advice on reaching your career goals.
