Loughborough University London opened its doors to students in 2015 as a part of the iCITY enterprise complex for the digital and creation industries. Progressive’s own Prof. Mike Caine has been the Dean at Loughborough University London since its inception and has witnessed the programmes at Loughborough University London thrive since their inception. The base in London has created an opportunity to ‘reach students that find it difficult to study in the East Midlands’ according to the university’s vice chancellor Prof. Robert Allison.
Another previous member of Progressive and now Innovation Program Manager at Loughborough University London, Ashley Gray stated: “We have a mandate to disrupt, experiment and innovate in all that we do to enhance our student experience.” he continued, “Loughborough University London’s Collaborative Project is a prime example with students from all disciplines coming together in teams to work on real world challenges with real world organisations such as NHS England, EDF Energy and Foster + Partners, resulting in one of the world’s largest and most exciting programmes of its kind.”
