kit
Sport plays a key part in life on campus with a number of sports clubs and fitness activities to get involved in. Be sure to pack your sports clothes, trainers and equipment to take advantage of the world-class facilities.
We have a range of Loughborough College branded sportswear from our suppliers Kukri that is available for all students to purchase after you arrive. This kit is compulsory for all first year sports students on Loughborough University validated programmes and must be worn for all practical and lab sessions. You will receive information about how to order your kit in your welcome information.
