The University of Leicester, De Montfort University & Loughborough University are rated amongst the UK’s top academic institutions. These internationally renowned universities deliver research, education and specialist services, ranging from clinical breakthroughs to cutting-edge innovations and advanced manufacturing. De Montfort is a hub for the Creative arts, fashion and healthcare, Leicester’s skills in Space Science and DNA are world renowned while also supplying many of the region’s doctors and nurses, and Loughborough, which consistently places in the top 10 UK universities, has a reputation for sports science that sees Olympians like Adam Peaty and Anthony Joshua regularly using the facilities on campus.
