Liverpool has to be the most incredible university city. Its culture, nightlife, people and fashions never fail to surprise, amaze and inspire.

About the University
Our mission at Liverpool is the pursuit of excellence. Liverpool is one of the UK's leading research universities with a reputation nationally and internationally for high quality teaching and research. In the course of its history the University has been associated with no less than eight Nobel Laureates.
Established more than a century ago as one of the first of the civic universities, Liverpool now has over 23,000 registered students and an annual income of almost £180 million, which includes £59 million for research.
Liverpool is distinctive for the high proportion of teaching and research which relates to the professions including accountancy, architecture, dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, planning, social work and veterinary science. This is combined with considerable strengths in all the principal areas of study in the humanities, sciences and social sciences.
The nature of its academic portfolio and its location at the heart of the city and region have also enabled the University to play a prominent role in the regeneration of Merseyside.
