Art and Design at Loughborough University ranks 2nd in the UK (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023, and The Complete University Guide 2023). Results of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework show that 100% of Loughborough University’s research impact in Art and Design is rated as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally-excellent’.
This excellent international and national reputation in Art and Design is the result of the sustained high-quality research and teaching of its well-established and dedicated team. The Foundation programme has developed many professional and academic associations with the Creative Industries via external projects, industry links, staff research, exhibitions and work placements.
