Check the entry requirements to a degree in all three universities - they will be similar. :thumbright:

Loughborough rises to 16th in international league table

The SBE at Loughborough University
In the 2013-14 table, Loughborough is ranked 16th, a rise of three places from last year, and is one of just three UK universities to appear in the league.

The QS Top 50 under 50 ranks institutions according to their position in the QS World University Rankings, which look at factors including academic and employer reputation, research, student to staff ratios and international students.

Loughborough was awarded its Charter in 1966, becoming Loughborough University of Technology, the country’s first technological university. It was renamed Loughborough University in 1996.

Housed on the largest single site green campus in the country, Loughborough has an international reputation for excellence in teaching and for world-leading research and innovation. It is also the country’s premier university for sport, with an outstanding record of achievement in performance at every level and in sport’s underpinning academic disciplines of exercise and health sciences.

In 2015 the University will open an additional academic campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Loughborough University in London will offer postgraduate and executive-level education, as well as research and enterprise opportunities, in disciplines including business and management, media and communications, digital technologies and sport.

Well you can and I did, its that simple (although that was a decade ago, mot sure if its changed). I have two friends that did accept the offer and graduated with excellent grades. One is now development officer at Leicester Rugby club :thumbright:

In fact graig college has strong links with Loughborough university and regularly play eachother home and away as a result. :thumbup:

Excuse for what? I dont need an excuse im telling you exactly how it is. I was one of three students from my year to get accepted from Graig college. Thats just something you are going to have to deal with. If they now need an extra A level then unlucky for them :lol:

Being 16th in the world means its 16th in the world. It was always amongst the best sports universities in europe :thumbright:

More fool them then and probably why they are lagging behind the likes of Loughborough considering the 12 modules for a national diploma are equivalent to A-Levels. :thumbright:

What is the point on doing unrelated A levels when you want to get into sport. I would have wasted my 9 A grade GCSE's :thumbup:

So we can talk about my personal life but we cant talk about yours?

This argument osmt even up for competition, it is about me - hence there can only be one winner :thumbright:

If you debated properly and didnt just join a thread when you feel you can have a go then i wouldnt. However considering that is your dads calling card then I will put you in the same bracket until you prove otherwise, so far you arent doing a good job.

Did I read it correctly. You said I quote
"Could of gone" so you didn't actually go then.

Re: SUGGESTION BOX

Sat Jun 07, 2014 11:29 pm

Yep, the argument was whether i had decent qualifications from collega as i opted not to do my A levels and something more career specific. :thumbright:

The fact i could have gone to Loughborough makes that opinion look a bit sillly really :thumbright:

so could the 11 plus what? That makes no sense.

If I wish to take the masters of business course, i am sufficiently qualified to do so (in fact more than sufficient) - however i dont need to as I am a multi millionaire. This who academic argument is a bit fruitless as a result really isnt it.mdoes Tan have a degree in business then? :laughing6:


im thinking of all those kids awaiting A level results.........which offer should i take up?.......Cardiff which roathie chose over loughborough,.....or loughborough itself or oxford or cambridge.................

it depends on the person and their circumstances. I was wanting to set up a business there so was convenient, not to mention i was still playing high level football at the time - so again, what is this discussion for again? Does Tan have a degree in business? :laughing6:

comedy gold...................

and i really dont understand why anyone would do business,maths,economics, or any finance related degree when...sports science pretty much covers it all anyway.........

people want to do different things young man. Would a doctor take finance? Would a dentist take maths? No.
I wanted to manage a business in the sports related sector (and will in the future) - and am now far richer than most people that leave any university on the planet :laughing6:

So again - what is this about again? :shock:

Oh... Do you have a qualification in scooter riding?

My qualifications have given me the ability to run global businesses running into the millions of profit :thumbright:
