Sort:Latest reviewsLocation and campus are good, student life is very good as the city is very good for students. Campus could be taken advantage of more and more cross-faculty/cross-subject events could take place after the beginning of the year.
The students union run a lot of helpful events and opportunities to meet others and people similar to you. There are lots of societies to choose from. Don't get a lot of contact time on courses which aren't STEM based, makes me wonder how much I am getting my moneys-worth.
The staff are so friendly and everyone is willing to help
One of the best things about studying at the University of Liverpool is the strong sense of community.It has a solid academic reputation, and you really feel that in the quality of teaching and research-led content. Many lecturers are experts in their fields and bring real world insight into seminars and lectures, which makes learning feel relevant and engaging. Moreover, the campus is well-located, with most buildings within walking distance, and the libraries offer good study spaces, especially during exam season. There’s also a wide range of societies and sports clubs through the Guild, so it’s easy to meet people and get involved beyond your course. Liverpool itself is a vibrant, student-friendly city with lots of culture, music, and affordable places to eat and socialise. Nevertheless, Like many large universities, communication can sometimes be inconsistent, especially between departments and central services. At times it can feel like you’re being passed between teams when trying to resolve admin issues, which could be solved by improving communication.
The campus is great, to have everything so close is great and that most of the accommodations are close by, one minor issue is that I've found that my timetable fluctuates largely week to week which can make planning things difficult
The facilities that are available from the uni and around Liverpool make it a great place to study and keep busy outside of work too.
Lecturers are passionate and love what they teach so the course is engaging, campus is gorgeous and close to the city centre, student life is great because of the friendly atmosphere.
Great uni
One of the best aspects of studying at the University of Liverpool is the strong sense of community. The campus is compact and everything is within walking distance, which makes it easy to feel connected and involved in university life. There’s a friendly atmosphere and it’s easy to meet people, whether through your course, societies, or social events. Liverpool itself is a huge highlight. It’s a vibrant, welcoming city with plenty to do, from music and nightlife to museums and waterfront walks. It’s also more affordable than many other UK student cities, which makes student life more manageable financially. The university offers good facilities, including modern libraries and study spaces, and there are plenty of societies and extracurricular opportunities to get involved in. There’s a good balance between academic life and social life, and the city has a strong student presence which makes it feel lively and supportive.
best uni experience definitely must be fresher's week, however the worst experience was the first lecture... knowing no one and nothing
The uni itself is in such a good location and the student support has been fantastic, always with something to do ! The campus itself could do with an upgrade as a lot of the buildings etc are quite run down and can look quite dirty. The gym could also be improved with a slightly bigger space and better lighting, however the facilities available are brilliant Overall have really enjoyed my first year at UoL !
The campus and facilities are high quality giving the university the russel group feeling it has. with the location so close to the centre the student life has many benefits. However had some slight issues with help from lecturers with help in terms of working through issues with extensions for personal extenuating circumstances, but was sorted in the end through the amazing management school support !
Great campus and atmosphere of the university. Lots of support for students, however could potentially have more free events at the student union.
The University of Liverpool is a good University that offers a lot of support and opportunities, especially for people who need them. I feel like it is harder to find the support because a lot of the time people don't look for it.
Liverpool has a fantastic vibe and you can really tell how much of the money that the uni has gets put back into their students. As a medical student though, I feel the correspondence between medical students and the university could be better as we can often feel quite separate from the rest of the university.
The University of Liverpool has a brilliant mix of academic support, a lively city atmosphere, and genuinely inspiring teaching, especially in creative and design-based subjects. The campus feels welcoming and well-connected, and there are plenty of spaces to study or meet people. The downside is that some facilities feel a little dated, and communication around timetabling or admin can be slow at times. Overall, it’s a great place to study, with a strong sense of community, but it would benefit from smoother organisation and continued investment in student spaces.
There are good places to study but no support from staff
Best: Location. The city of Liverpool is warm and welcoming, with a huge amount of drinking and sober activities appropriate for university students. Everything is within walking distance and public transport is plentiful. Worst: student union very political. Can make those with different political opinions nervous of being on campus.

It makes this place good for studying due to its strategic location, close to the dock with an outstanding view. Besides, the night life here couldn't be any better.
The teaching assistants need more training. Some of the lecturers need to be more fluent in English
They need to do something about the fire alarm. It goes off too easy.
