Loughborough University enrols its highest-ever intake of 700+ Indian students, split across undergraduate & postgraduate courses in 2023.
UK-based Loughborough University has announced the rebranding of its business school, as it aims to become the first-choice business school for purpose-led people and organisations.
Loughborough University, which was also the training ground for India’s Olympic Javelin Champion Neeraj Chopra in 2023 season, has renamed its ‘School of Business and Economics’ to ‘Loughborough Business School’, as part of a major branding makeover.
Sarah Bostock, Associate Director of Marketing and Advancement at Loughborough University, said that the institution enrolled its highest-ever intake of 700+ Indian students in 2023 which makes nearly 900 Indian students on its campus currently, and identifies India as a “strategic priority country”in line with its vision to progress with purpose’.
“As part of our vision ‘Progress with Purpose,’ we see ourselves as a first-choice business school for purpose-led people and organisations. Our mission at Loughborough entails reshaping our learning environment and delivering new student experiences. This rebranding will help us raise our profile and reputation globally, as well as open up more avenues for international students through business partnerships,” said Bostock, who is in charge of raising
“We have long standing links with India. Our first-ever student from India graduated in 1937. We will continue to strengthen our existing partnerships in India by providing access to career guidance, alumni mentoring and work-based learning opportunities to students,” she added.
To further enhance their strategy for India, she said they have appointed two special regional envoys from amongst their senior academic community, Professor Bala Vaidhyanathan and Dr Kirti Ruikar.
In India, Loughborough University has well-established links with several prestigious education institutions, including Indian Institutes of Technology, such as Bombay, Delhi, Roorkee and Madras (going back over 40 years in some cases) and emerging links with institutions such as Anna University, Chennai and Symbiosis International University.
“India is currently our second-largest international grouping and the largest for postgraduate-taught students. We will strive to deliver accelerated learning and professional development opportunities for prospective students and partners. Ultimately, as thought leaders and innovators, we want to enable learners in creating ethical, sustainable and technologically advanced businesses of the future,” added Sarah.
In India, Loughborough University has also contributed towards the design of a high-performance sport centre in Ahmedabad and recruited 18 PhD students for its first overseas split-site PhD programme on the built environment, hosted in partnership with NICMAR University.
