A copy of your degree certificate, if you have already graduated.

An academic transcript of your undergraduate degree showing the modules studied and marks achieved.

We require an academic reference to support your application and this should come from your current or most recent place of study (if you have already graduated). If it is impossible for you to obtain an academic reference, a reference from your employer may suffice but please contact us to check if this will be acceptable. For a limited number of programmes we may ask for both an academic and professional reference. If this applies to you, it will be clearly stated in your offer email.

Your personal statement doesn't need to be long – around one side of A4. It should include: why you want to study your chosen programme at Loughborough University the skills and experience you'd be bringing to the programme – this could be relevant work or volunteering experience, as well as your academic history your hobbies or interests, if they are relevant to the course you're applying for what you want to do after your studies – plans for your career or any further study an explanation of any gaps in your studies or career to date

All students, of any nationality, who are from a design-related background should provide a portfolio showing examples of work relevant to the MSc User Experience Design. This should be around 10 pages long. You must demonstrate your understanding of human centred design, including your design process, the project outcome, and how you considered the end user’s experience. We encourage you to critically reflect on how you could improve your technique and project outcomes. If your degree/background means you do not have a portfolio, your personal statement must explain your interest in user experience design and why you want to study on the MSc User Experience Design course.
