Speaking about Loughborough’s performance in the 2020 ‘Table of Tables’, the University’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Robert Allison, said: “Our 5th place ranking in the ‘Table of Tables’ underlines our position as one of the country’s very best universities.
“Our continued success in the league tables is due to the hard work and dedication of staff and students across our campuses in Loughborough and London, as well as the Students’ Union. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved.”
