Loughborough University charges £26,300 for international students and £12,900 for UK (home) students for the one-year MSc Management in 2026–27, per its own tuition-fees page. As a British one-year master, that puts it below London-based names like [LBS](/programs/london-business-school) or [Imperial](/programs/imperial-college-business-school) on the international sticker price while still being a triple-accredited school — see how it lands against the field in [how much a MiM in Europe costs](/blog/how-much-does-a-mim-cost-in-europe) and the [best-value MiM shortlist](/blog/best-value-mim-in-europe). Loughborough is a campus town in the East Midlands, so day-to-day living costs run lower than in London — budget realistically against the UK student-visa maintenance figure (about £1,023 a month outside London for 2025, which the Home Office sets and updates), and confirm the current fee and any School of Business and Economics scholarships on Loughborough's own pages.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Loughborough MSc Management cost?
For 2026–27, Loughborough University charges £26,300 for international students and £12,900 for UK (home) students for the one-year MSc Management, as stated on its own postgraduate tuition-fees pages. That international sticker price sits below London-based British master's such as London Business School or Imperial while still coming from a triple-accredited school. Loughborough is a campus town in the East Midlands, so living costs are lower than in London — a useful reference point is the UK student-visa maintenance figure the Home Office sets (about £1,023 a month outside London for 2025). Budget for those living costs on top of tuition, and check the School of Business and Economics pages for any scholarships or fee discounts, which change each cycle.
Is the Loughborough MSc Management a good — and accredited — business school programme?
Loughborough's School of Business and Economics is triple-accredited — it holds AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA, the three international accreditations that only a small minority of business schools worldwide carry together. The MSc Management sits in the 101–110 band of QS's Business Masters: Management ranking for 2026 (out of 235 programmes), and Loughborough consistently ranks inside the UK top ten for graduate prospects in business and management in the domestic league tables (The Times, The Guardian and The Complete University Guide). It is not currently ranked in the Financial Times Masters in Management table, so we do not quote an FT position for it — judge it on its accreditations, its subject standing and fit rather than an FT rank.
What does the MSc Management actually cover, and how is it structured?
The MSc Management is a one-year, full-time taught master with a September intake at Loughborough's main campus. The compulsory core spans the breadth of general management — Human Resource Management, Marketing, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Responsible Global Business, Digital Organisations & Strategy, Corporate Finance and a Personal Development module — and you round it out with second-semester options such as Strategy Analysis, Small Business & Entrepreneurship, Marketing Communications, Social Enterprise or Global Marketing. The degree is capped by a 45-credit Industry Experience Project, an applied capstone in place of a purely theoretical dissertation. Because the core is deliberately broad, it works well as a conversion master for graduates who did not study business at undergraduate level. Confirm the current module list on Loughborough's own page, as electives are reviewed each year.
Where is Loughborough, and is it taught in English?
Loughborough University is in the town of Loughborough in Leicestershire, in England's East Midlands — a well-known single-site campus university about an hour and a half north of London by train, famous for one of the largest and highest-rated university campuses in the UK. The MSc Management is taught entirely in English, so you do not need any other language to complete it, and there is one September intake each year. As a campus town rather than a major city, Loughborough typically means lower living costs than London-based UK master's — a genuine consideration when you compare the total cost of a one-year British MiM against Continental options.
