An amazing university in an amazing city. The campus is right by the city centre where there is so much to do at a great cost of living, and the city is full of friendly people. The staff are always happy to help and there are so many opportunities and resources available for you. If you make the most of everything available to you, it is brilliant and I would highly recommend the university.
Great atmosphere, the city and location is perfect, plenty of nightlife. The course and lecturers are good and the facilities are a great quality too. The new guild has improved campus and the new Accomodation
Best 3 years of my life! Brilliant city, excellent course and made some amazing friends. Genuinely wouldn't change my time here for anything. There's a reason I could never leave the city post university...
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Liverpool University: I studied History and the course, social life and city exceeded my expectations. I stayed in the city as did many of my peers which speaks volumes about our time here and the prospects available
The campus felt like home as soon as I got there. My course was filled with like-minded students from similar backgrounds and the city of Liverpool is big enough to have a world class cultural and leisure offer, but small enough to be able to walk everywhere and quickly get your bearings.
Not really accommodating to the sort of business I want to go into. Their main focus are the students who want to work for large corporate companies. If it wasn't for my social life and the city life I would be quite unhappy. I really do not enjoy the course, it isn't for me. Some lecturers don't seem to understand or want to acknowledge students who do not wish to work in the corporate world and that is frustrating for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Liverpool and would recommend it to anyone. The city itself has so much to offer and the university provides high quality teaching with a fantastic reputation.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at University of Liverpool. The modules on my course were interesting and exciting, and were delivered by exceptional staff who made the courses fun and were always there to help. Moreover, the facilities were great!
I think Liverpool is a really unique place to go to University. Great student city, lots to do and a brilliant night out.
Great city, great people. Affordable place to live and perfect for students. It has been refurbished a lot over the last few years and the accommodation isn't as dated anymore. There is also a new student union which looks very impressive.
Doing the foundation course at Carmel and there's no link between the uni and college throughout Year 0. Going out is alright quite expensive, accommodation is a joke, everyone is boring that I've met so yea
Good uni with lots of student opportunities many different clubs and a great sports scene. Lectures Are good however some time tables could be better constructed
Great University life, the Engineering degree was of quality - the teaching staff was approachable and were passionate about their subjects. Being right in the middle of City gave the full university life experience, especially for an international student discovering a totally new culture. Made life-long friends and great souvenirs. Wish to come back again to visit ;-)
Generally had good facilities and a good and easy to access support network for students. All staff were very helpful and there was a general feeling of pride around campus both among staff and students. Liverpool is a fantastic city and Liverpool University is a brilliant place to study while experiencing such a lovely city.
Facilities were exceptional and kept at a high standard, resulting in me and my peers taking pride when on campus. However, the general trend was that Lecturers were happy to read off their slides and not willing to go the extra mile in helping students to learn more (me being an example). In my 4 year experience my only memory of any member of staff demonstrating to facilitate my learning was Prudence Wong. An individual I hope that other members of staff, in particular Frans Coen (Java Lecturuer), will strive to achieve.
I really enjoyed studying at Liverpool. I had lecturers who had spent time in industry, and they always had time to see undergrads about work. The University supported me when I had health problems, and encouraged me to achieve goals. If I had to choose again I would definitely choose Liverpool.
Brilliant, engaging tutors and professors. An excellent social life and one of the most vibrant cities in the UK. Liverpool was my first choice university and I have never regretted choosing to go.
Helped me to reach career goals I didn't even know I had at the time. Halls were dire and out of the city centre, but I gather this has improved since. Plenty of opportunities on the social side too. Lack of structure on the course didn't do me too many favours but if I went back and redid the course I'd just use the time more effectively (or at least I'd try...)
Enjoyed my time there. Did the job for me. Nice pleasant city to live in. I spent more time mixing with locals than students. Good courses leading to excellent job offers.


The University of Liverpool is an absolutely fantastic university to attend for any degree. It provides the best possible experience, from thought-provoking lectures to a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. Lectures are held throughout the campus which has two libraries, both specialising in different subjects. The University staff working in all departments, including the Libraries, the Students Union, the Careers department and the Support Centre, are helpful and supportive. These departments are always finding new and innovative ways to provide the best services possible for the students. Liverpool as a city is an incredibly cultured and affordable city to live, travel, shop and enjoy both day-trips and nights out. There are many free activities to do during the days including visiting the many different museums and art galleries in the city as well as a trip to the Liverpool docks to walk around the shops and visit the Beatles Story. Liverpool’s shopping centre in the city, known as Liverpool One, offers a variety of different retail shops, restaurants and activities including a cinema and a mini gold course.
