WELCOME
Welcome to Loughborough University!
We are delighted that you have chosen Loughborough for your study exchange. We strongly
believe in the benefits of international education and hope that your experience at
Loughborough is both enjoyable and rewarding.
This guide is intended to give you an overview of the application process for incoming exchange
students and, more specifically, to provide information which will assist you with your learning
agreement and module choice.
APPLICATIONS AND LEARNING AGREEMENTS
All incoming exchange students must complete an application form and learning agreement
which can be downloaded from the website:
https://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/overseas-exchange/incoming/applying/
Completed application forms and learning agreements should be submitted to Loughborough
University by the following deadlines:
• 15 June 2021 (for Semester One and Full Year exchanges);
• 15 November 2021 (for Semester Two exchanges).
In order to avoid any delay in processing your application, please ensure that it is signed off by
yourself, your home University and your respective School/Department Exchange Co-ordinator
at Loughborough University.
MODULE CHOICE
When you apply to Loughborough, you will be registered as an exchange student in a host
School/Department. This is the School/Department with which your home University has either
an ERASMUS+ or an international exchange agreement.
It is our expectation that you will participate in full credit-bearing modules whilst at
Loughborough (usually 30 ECTS credits per semester), but the requirements will vary according
to your chosen subject area. When completing your learning agreement, it is, therefore,
recommended that you contact YOUR respective School/Department Exchange Co-ordinator
and follow his/her advice.
Exchange students should normally choose modules from the host School/Department,
however registration on 'open access' modules provided by other Schools/Departments may be
permitted in exceptional circumstances. If you would like to take a module that is not taught by
your host School/Department, you must gain approval from BOTH your host School/Department
Exchange Co-ordinator AND the Exchange Co-ordinator from the School/Department in which
the module is taught.
Please bear in mind that, whilst we always try to accommodate the requests of our exchange
students, places are limited and may be subject to you meeting certain pre-requisites in your
chosen subject area. Additionally, as learning agreements are subject to the approval
of your respective School/Department Exchange Co-ordinator, we cannot guarantee that you
will be offered a place on your chosen modules.

TIMETABLE CLASHES AND CHANGES TO YOUR
LEARNING AGREEMENT
Loughborough University uses the following structure for its module coding:
Example: 21BSA053 – Organisations in the International Context
21 Academic year in which the course will run
BS Two letter code of the School/Department that runs the module
A The part (or year) of the degree programme in which the module runs:
Part A modules: 1st year
Part B modules: 2nd year
Part C modules: 3rd year
Part D modules: 4th year
053 Three number individual module code
A postgraduate programme at Loughborough is known as Part T, but the modules are identified
by a ‘P’, for example 20BSP029 - Marketing in the Organisation.
Please be aware that if you choose modules from across a range of years (e.g. some part A
and some part B modules), there is an increased chance that timetable clashes will occur, and
you will not be able to take all the modules requested in your initial learning agreement.
At Loughborough, the timetable is released near to the start of the semester, therefore it is
possible that we shall not be able to confirm if there is a ‘fit’ for all the modules you have chosen
until the first week of your studies. We do, however, allow all students a period of two weeks
after the start of the semester, in which to finalise their module choices BEFORE the final
details are confirmed with the Student Records Office.
We recommend that you have a few extra module choices in mind, so that if your first choice
modules are not available due to timetable clashes, you can opt to take others.
If you are required to change your module choices due to timetable clashes, you will need to
make the appropriate changes on your learning agreement and seek the approval of your home
University and the respective School/Department Exchange Co-ordinator at Loughborough.
SENSITIVE CONTENT
Modules marked with the following symbol - † - are classed as having Sensitive Content. This
refers to any content that a student may find to be difficult, sensitive or challenging to think
about. Loughborough University is committed to providing an environment in which students
can study effectively and safely. It is also committed to freedom of speech and academic
freedom. If you are interested in a module with the † symbol but would like further information,
you can contact the respective School/Department Exchange Co-ordinator for further advice.
The scope of topics that are potentially sensitive will vary according to the nature of the subject
and the students taking that subject.
More information can be found here under the Academic Quality Procedures Handbook.
