Student satisfaction with higher education at Loughborough College now rivals some of the country’s top universities, new data has revealed.
The National Student Survey 2022 showed ‘overall satisfaction with the quality of courses’ at the College’s Higher Education Centre is 84.4% - 6% higher than the sector benchmark.

“I think it’s a fantastic reflection of the student-centred approach we take and the dedication of our teaching staff who work so hard to keep students engaged and supported and our commitment to creating the best possible student experience.
“The impacts of the pandemic are, without question, still being felt by young people and I am so proud of our team for putting in place the high quality education, nurture and support which has led to these outstanding results.”
