Sort:Latest reviewsBest aspect is the promotion and availability of vast amount of books and readings, as well as opportunities for extracurricular activities. Lots of room to study too. Could maybe be improved with work to complete within lectures rather than solely information.
I have nothing but precious words about this university. Staff if very helpful and supportive, not only the lecturers but all the team. Global Opportunities services are amazing and they are very caring. Also a lot is always going on at university, societies, the guild of students… And faculties are quite good.
Good location close to city centre and food shops. Libraries on both sides of campus so always accessible, most accommodation walkable to campus.
Old red brick buildings are lovely and have a cambridge-esque feel to them. Liverpool is a lovely place and the city centre is very smart. Staff on the course are mostly very nice and friendly. Some university buildings look a bit run down but that is something that all '50s and '60s buildings suffer from no matter the place. Accommodation is very good a but there is a bus ride to get to university, and the busses aren't always on time and are often very crowded, but they are run by arriva not by the uni itself.
Lovely staff, facilities are great with only some accessibility issues in the older buildings. Fantastic libraries. I love the centralised campus, and its not too far from Liverpool's train stations. I can't comment much on the student union, but student life in Liverpool is famously exciting and busy. Overall, a great experience so far.
The university offers so many places to do work or hang out with friends, it us a really welcoming place. The only issue is the departments don't truly listen and make active changes based on feedback from students despite sending out endless surveys. When exams are unrealistic to test our ability or lectures too long or seminars not being useful, nothing changes.
Everything is very close by and the university itself is close to the centre. Could have more green spaces.
I like the societys and lectures
There’s lots of places to study around campus - the libraries, outdoor spaces in the summer, the Courtyard and other spaces in the Guild and also the Union Brew cafe if you want a drink with your revision. I also love how everywhere on campus is close together so you don’t have to trek too far for a lecture.
Best part is being involved in the au and feeling part of the uni community The worst bit is how all of the bioscience students in the first year are together so what we cover is all very general
The library facilities are good since you have two separate ones on either side making it easier to get to. It’s easy to keep in contact with tutors since they keep their office doors open in their free time to help you. I would say the student union isn’t very “united”. There isn’t much encouragement to join societies.
Best is the facilities, many high end recording studios, free to book out and use as I want. Worst is waking up for 9am lectures and occasional lectures/seminars that are not worth my time.
Libraries open 24/7 so great convenience, structure provided for coursework, staff are approachable and helpful.
The course is incredibly well structured and integrated, with applicable and individual lecturers delvering the material. The VTS building is purpose built and provides an invaluable practical rescource. The Waterhouse building provides a much needed hub for students to work, collaborate and relax.
best aspect of the uni experience is that they create a good social envrironment to branch out of your social circle Something that could be improved is that they have more social opportunities outside of sports societies, eg other societies have similar socials outside of meetings
The best aspect of my uni experience is the well structured course, the lovely modern facilities and the city itself. Liverpool is an amazing city with plenty of places to walk, eat, drink and even party if you want to (I don’t partake). The campus is in a great area just slightly away from the city centre, meaning it’s just students. The libraries are also amazing, I use the Harold cohen library the most because I’m a STEM student, it’s huge and very nice. The university is also great for societies, I’m in 2 myself (1 sport and 1 E-sport) and they have allowed me to get out more and meet people. There are hundreds of societies to choose from. I truly can’t fault the city and the university, amazing student experience.
There are plenty of opportunities to socialise and access support on campus. There are also many facilities such as a gym and places to buy food. It is in a great location with only a 15 minute walk to the city centre. The only minor issue is that the campus buildings sometimes feel slightly outdated.
