All applicants should obtain an approved application form from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) and consult the UCAS handbook "How to apply for Admission to a University". Your school or college will supply these, or you can write directly to:

The Secretary,
Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS),
Fulton House,
Jessup Avenue,

The UCAS Code for Loughborough University is 71 and for Communication and Media Studies P 910.

A Level Applicants

A Level qualifications
ABB at A Level or  AB grades at A level and 2 Grade B's at AS level

Normally all candidates to whom we wish to make an offer will have the opportunity to visit the university to look over the attractive campus and to talk to a member of staff about the course.

After we have made our decisions on the basis of the UCAS forms, we offer open days for those to whom we have made offers on several dates between December and March.  This enables you to visit the campus and the Department and to talk to current students.

Mature Applicants

We warmly welcome applications from mature students with work experience or other qualifications and from students following Access courses. If you have any initial queries please get in touch with the Programme Director who will be pleased to answer them for you.

Overseas Applicants

We also welcome applications from students resident outside the United Kingdom who may wish to study for the degree or to take courses for one or two terms. The University's modular system facilitates the easy transfer of course credits for overseas degrees.
