Sort:Latest reviewsReally love the campus, and the library facilities. Used the mental health services and felt let down. Wasn't followed up despite what I spoke to the team about, and felt very unsupported
the people are great, also the fact that everything is relatively close and its still a city campus is great too
WWW - The office hours are incredibly helpful as well as the seminars as they allow you to use the work you've learnt from the lectures into practice. EBI - Some teachers don't put resources up and make it incredibly hard to get hold of them by not answering to emails.
Amazing university - everyone is really friendly!
I love how fun Liverpool is, truly wouldn’t have expected this of Liverpool. The Campus is a bit ugly but it’s still nice to walk around, I wish it was easier to get support around mental health, i feel like there are alot of hurdles and forms and meetings to get through to someone who can actually help you. The student union is very fun and i like all the societies they have to offer. The main red brick building is gorgeous and im excited to take my photos there when I graduate.
Best- area of uni in comparison to town Worst- some buildings/areas are very run down compared to others
I enjoy the that Liverpool is a student based city with a lot of hustle and bustle. The societies are abundant and there is always student events on at the guild. There is a place for everyone. I honestly dont think there is much to improve
The city location is good with the campus being so close to the city centre. The facilities can be improved, the new gym is good but there isn't much room and its always busy so there is a wait for all the machines. The student union is good, the courtyard and the sphynx are lovely.
Best - the campus, everything is so close together and the location in Liverpool is great: ; also there’s a variety of study spaces forming you want to switch up your revision spot. Worst- it could be improved by giving more insight into life after uni (especially in 3rd year), for example talks on postgrad studies, and specifically in law, what happens next and what they recommend doing/advice on scholarships from Inns of Court etc.
It’s a really supportive environment with lecturers who are passionate and knowledgeable. There are a lot of events put on which make socialising easy.
Studying Medicine at the University of Liverpool has been a challenging but really rewarding experience so far, particularly in second year where the course content starts to feel much more clinically relevant. The integration of clinical cases with core science helps you understand why you’re learning certain topics, rather than just memorising information. One of the best aspects of the course is the early clinical exposure. Being introduced to patient contact and placements early on has helped build confidence and made the transition into more clinical thinking feel natural. Many of the lecturers and teaching fellows are enthusiastic and supportive, and are clearly invested in helping students understand complex concepts rather than just getting through the syllabus. The student community within the medical school is also a big positive. Medicine is demanding, especially in second year, but there is a strong sense of support among students, and people are always willing to help each other out. Liverpool itself is a great city to study in — it’s welcoming, relatively affordable, and has plenty to offer socially, which really helps with work–life balance. In terms of improvements, the workload in second year can sometimes feel overwhelming, particularly when multiple assessments and deadlines coincide. Communication around timetables and assessment details could be clearer at times, as last-minute changes can add unnecessary pressure. More structured revision support closer to exams would also be helpful. Overall, i feel the University of Liverpool offers a supportive and engaging environment to study medicine. While demanding, the course is well designed and prepares you well for the clinical years ahead.
University of Liverpool is a city campus uni so has the best of both worlds in my opinion. Liverpool one for shopping and concert square for nights out are only a short walk from the main campus. The campus as a whole is very walkable which I love and has green spaces such as Abercrombie square where you can sit in the summer with a picnic at lunch. I am not too sure how student experience is like as someone who does not wish or do sport but if you are going and wish to be part of a sports team I would highly recommend coming here as sport has definitely shaped my experience and enjoyment at university so far, with many of my closest friends being those on my team. In terms of a learning environment I find it very supportive but still academic with there being an emphasis on independent academic study and research.
Everyone is so friendly, it could be improved by more student union nights
The lecturers are all very accomplished and knowledgable, and the university has very good support arrangements. Free in-person and online library access makes it very affordable.
I genuinely have grown to love Liverpool, so I'm definitely glad in terms of the location that I've come here, I think that the libraries are this university's asset. I do think that the quality of some of the lectures (as well as the lecture theatres themselves) could be improved though.
I love Liverpool as a city and I enjoy my course very much. The lecturers are very helpful and knowledgeable making studying easy! I would improve the way in which personal extenuating circumstances are handled as I was ask to provided proof that my grandad was in hospital by a doctor and I think that’s a bit insensitive and also difficult to obtain. But other than that I’ve had no issues
I think the most important part the modules are good and well taught bumps it up to a 4. It does have that classic red brick feel but they’re constantly doing work on it that takes ages some people go through their entire degree without seeing a building without scaffolding on. Student union/life/facilities is all pretty average so I’d give it a 3. They do have a lot of events, but they could do better informing students about them. Some of the rooms don’t match the lecture and we could do with better technology which is minimal despite the fact my degree is in science.
Excellent student support, and staff. Great facilities such as multiple libraries to support your study.
