The unfortunate thing is that it is only one entry per card, so when my friends visit we can't study anywhere, as the the only other options are Union Brew, which although it has a nice study atmosphere the music is terrible and make it soo hard to study, a Nero on campus but it isn't open late enough enough to get work done. So there is a lack of communal free study areas you can bring visitors to and study with. I have never used the student support or if I have been told about it, I have forgotten so it's ether not that important at al or just not that important to me. The location is great and super close to city centre. Campus is nice but I have seen better.
Good modern facilities
The city itself is definitely one of the best parts about studying here. Its big enough that there is always something to do weather it be concerts, exhibitions, nightlife etc but not so big that its overwhelming like London or Manchester. When it comes to the university, they always make an effort to have a variety of guest lectures throughout the year, these guest lectures also happen both in and out of the scheduled lectures for my course so during those that occur in replacement of a normal lecture it shows how that module can be used after my degree. The modules are also made up of a variety of different structures instead of sticking to one uniform one allowing students to try a variety of methods to see what works for them best. when it comes to improvement i feel like there could be a bigger effort in the scheduled lectures and other activities to show possible careers paths because currently except for the guest lectures that replace normal ones all of the opitunities to explore career paths are extracircular
The teaching facilities are great, I love the Clinical Skills building for its old architecture, it really feels like we're learning in a legacy of medicine. Although the teaching sessions for Clinical Skills are usually well run, I feel that some of the sessions could be longer. The common area of Cedar House feels spacious and modern, and is a great place to study. It's only downside is that sometimes there just doesn't seem to be enough room during busy periods. The Harold Cohen library is a nice place to study, although sometimes it does get crowded. Having outlets in the big reading room would be really helpful as at the moment you can only study in there if your devices have good battery life, or you're studying completely from books/paper notes which can be limiting.
The best aspects of studying at Uni of Liverpool has definitely been the community, atmosphere and people around campus and accommodation. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and, passionate. The freedom and feel is great as well, the guild and the accommodation is always offering events that are great to go to. The only improvement I can think of is the lack of feeling of green space, close by and in the city centre there is little open green areas, however there are parks with a nice one being only a 30 minute walk away, and some smaller ones a bit closer. The docs are also gorgeous and make up for the scenery.
the lectureres can be hard to understand and teach in an engaging and relevent way, and there is less push to adapt to ai as it is so relevent to our future yet is not touched on there is a great program in getting jobs and in industrys, and a high social focus at uni with many programs and events to network and socalise better which is invaluable, and the city is a social hub which is great fun.
Lots going on and lots to do. Many great societies and way to meet people. City has lots to offer. Love that it’s a campus uni within a city. Great study spaces on campus.
The city is great and the facilities available to students on their course are amazing. The student union is a little boring however and lacks a lot of things that other SUs around the country have.
The Student Union is always actively encouraging students to participate in the range of events it offers with great communication of the information about said events. The staff are all willing to help. The Student support services are clearly broadcasted and there is a great range of support available. Would recommend this university.
I love the city so much which has made me love uni
Great place to study: - My course gives the opportunity of optional modules to tailor your degree to your specific interests, e.g finance for my economics degree - Small classroom settings for seminars and academic advisor sessions allow students to make connections with other students and feel supported - Opportunities for trips and an amazing global team offering experiences such as summer abroad, semester abroad and year abroad - My director of studies is extremely organised and sends emails to remind students of deadlines, important information and upcoming opportunities - Career-enhancing sessions to go to always, including guest speakers, mock interviews, employability speakers How it could be improved: - I would prefer shorter length lectures e.g an hour or an hour and a half as oppose to two hour lectures as, especially when they are back, I struggle to concentrate as well - More consistency throughout the lecturers with giving breaks in lectures - Some of the older buildings could do with some maintenance - Some seminars are given by pHD students who don't deliver the content as well as the lecturers do/sometimes the teaching is inconsistent between lectures and seminars, maybe there could be more monitoring of this
It’s fun
An AWEOME place to study, great facilities, amazing profes, what more could you want?
One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the academic challenge and the way the course encourages critical thinking rather than simple memorisation. Studying Law has pushed me to analyse complex cases, question legal principles, and engage with real debates about justice and power, which has made the learning feel meaningful and intellectually stimulating. The lecturers are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about their subjects, and seminars provide a supportive space to discuss ideas and develop confidence in expressing arguments. The university is also a great place to study because of its welcoming atmosphere and the vibrant city environment, which makes student life enjoyable and balanced. However, the experience could be improved by providing more consistent feedback on assessments and clearer guidance on expectations, as this would help students feel more confident about their academic progress.
For me the support is excellent and so are the facilities. Uni life is brilliant and the uni understand that it’s not just about studying. I would like more integration of students and the lecturers and researchers and I think I’d like it to be more persobal
great social life, great facilities and lost of support with studies. its also close to the city center
It could be improved by listening to student feedback regarding concerns of how some lecturers conduct their lectures.
The uni is close to the city centre, which makes it really easy for students to enjoy their life. However, it would be better if it was in the middle of the centre, or like more shops and stuff are built around it so it’s within a city. Otherwise, if the uni offered a bus that students can sign up for and pay for to get them to uni, it would make life WAY easier. The uni has many societies and friendly and inclusive people, therefore it makes life easier on a new student.
Most of the facilities are nice however some have a lack of natural lighting and other such things which I would classify as a little picky in terms of University issues. I have had some troubles with the Student's union as a member of the uni's brass band -they're poor communication led to us having to drop out of this years (2026) unibrass- however other than that one instance I have had no issues with them.

It is a lovely campus to study at and has great facilities that make it easier to enjoy settling in at university. I would of liked more information given to me on how there is univeristy specific accommidation and private as I didn't know this was applicable when looking at accommidation for this university which has affected my university experience as i have not been put with UoL people or first years.
The lectures and academic advisor are very quick at responding to any queres. The course hours are very overwhelming for a first year student as I have always been in 5-4 days all 9am classes.
