Part-time work/Working while a student
Part-time employment whilst registered as a student is growing in popularity, as is the option of spending a year of paid employment in industry as part of a degree programme. More information on sandwich years can be found in the undergraduate prospectus.
Part-time work is an excellent way to gain a small income while you study and a way to gain experience, develop personal skills and increase your employability. Just make sure it doesn't interfere with your studies! Loughborough Students' Union runs an employment exchange which can be used to find part-time vacancies in the local area.
Sports Scholarships
Sports scholarships are available to elite athletes from a number of different sports. To be eligible for consideration for a sports scholarship you will have excelled at least a junior international level (or equivalent) in your sport and have fulfilled the normal academic requirements for either undergraduate or postgraduate entry.
The benefits of scholarship include financial support each academic year, first class coaching, access to extensive training and competition facilities, sports medicine and sports science support, and a life skills programme. There is also a high level of support from the Performance Sport Team, and the possibility of extending your degree studies to enable an optimum training, competing and study balance.
