Sort:Latest reviewsI would give the university of Liverpool and the course overall a 4/5 , although it doesn't overly prepare you for the job market, it has a great night life, and the private accommodation is really nice. The facilities have continued to improve since first year as well which has been great
I would give the university of Liverpool 4/5 overall. I like my course alot. My accommodation as a fresher was a hole, but the experience being here and in halls has been fun and I love the city. We have great athletic societies too.
Very good - i would give it a 4.5/5 , as all things do there are down points , but it is very good academically as universities go, it is also great for social life, union and so much more, support is readily available too. Only gripe is accommodation
Overall It has been a positive experience so far. Lecturers are very knowledgable about there subjects and are really helpful when you need it. There is a lot to do in the city and at the university. Overall Recommended :)
The degree is very good, loads of resources and amazing facilities for my course. Socially, I think more events and social activities are needed to improve things. Have enjoyed my course so far!
Although I got off to a rocky start, I feel at home now. The course is variety packed and challenging, I love the student union and the uni's facilities and the city (bus passes could be cheaper though).
The course is excellent and the University has great resources and facilities, and is based in a fun city. However, I felt that more could be done in first year for students not living in halls.
I am enjoying my experience at the university of Liverpool. Although it can be very stressful with the work load. But the facilities here are brilliant with 24h library ,and the city is great too - the night life is brilliant. I have mixed feelings about my course - but don't we all!
It's an ok university. Course is very hard work that can be very stressful at times! Really enjoy my course though, and have made great friends through it and living in the city.
I have had a great experience at the university of Liverpool so far. There is lots going on, which is fun and keeps you busy outside and inside of lectures. I am really enjoying my course and the amount of interaction I get with other students on the course and outside the course. I also love my accomodation
The course is brilliant, i absolutely love it. The academic topics covered are superb as well as a superb perfomance side to it. I would recommend my course, and the university. The city is fab tooo!!! Accomodation needs work, but overall I would recommend it and am really enjoying it here.
I have really enjoyed my time here so far, there are great facilities and a depth of resources available to students, and Liverpool is a wonderful city to study in.
student studying history and politics. Liverpool is a great uni, this is largely down to the fact that it isn't as big as the other russell group universities. Being smaller means that you feel a little more like an individual, not just a number. Its compact campus means everything is in one place and its nestled just behind the city centre for easy access to shops and nightlife. The key to Uni is this: you get back what you put in. Join a sports club (great way of meeting friends and having fun whilst keeping fit) and societies. It is never too late to start, however starting in your first year as a base is useful but don't let being in third year put you off. The key to liverpool uni is this: start in off-campus halls, move on to smithdown (student area) in second year then move into city centre in third year. This way you get to meet masses of people, but you get closer to uni (and the library) the higher you get up in your degree. At Uni everyone has a different experience. Most, if not all, people have regrets. The important thing is to come out the other side being more independent and savvy. Liverpool is just as good, if not better to do this on account of size, geography and opportunities to meet other people. Best of luck, dive in.
really good overall, i play korfball and there is no club for it, from what my friends say they think the clubs are the best thing about uni.
I love liverpool uni. Now in my third year studying History, and have loved every part of it. The eye candy is great here, and everyone seems to be up for a good time all the way from 1st year to some people that are in their 6th year. Quite a lot of people have assumed History is a boring course but i have found it to be really interesting, I guess if you don't like reading it would be a stupid course to choose anyway!
I'm currently in my first year at the university of Liverpool studying Business Studies. I wouldn't say that the accommodation is the best, however I think that is part of the uni experience, especially experiencing it by yourself. I also think that there could be an improvement in the uni facilities, including the student union. I would advise people coming to the Uni of Liverpool to read into study abroad and placement programmes to see how they could enhance your university experience and employment potential.
University is actually very tough, make sure you try hard because it is expensive! I really enjoy my course, which i feel is important, if you don't enjoy you're course you will find it hard to be passionate about it and maybe not do as well. So think through the decision of what course you're going to do well. A good thing to do is to join a sports club as it is a very good social past time and you will make some great friends along the way
The University of Liverpool is a really good uni, everything is going okay in my course, however it isn't the most exciting thing ever and I am comfortable in my halls. The campus is really good, there are two libraries so you can always find somewhere to do your work and the sports facilities are awesome. The one thing missing is a good students union, I thought that all Uni's would have good unions but Liverpool doesn't seem to be competing in that area.
First of all I thoroughly enjoy my course, and as a third year I have found out that you need to work hard in order to succeed. I would advise that you try and get out of the house/halls as much as you can and explore the city as it is a great opportunity to see a great city with lots of history. The tutorials are very helpful and provide a good basis to the core knowledge needed. Be prepared to work independently!

A lot of the lecturers don't go into detail and I have been unsatisfied with the standard of lots of my modules. It leaves a lot to be desired, but I cannot say that I am disliking my time here.
Go out for meals. Nightlife.
I joined hockey but left after 2 weeks as there wasn't much help for beginners.
The food was of a very low standard and did not promote healthy eating. The rooms were adequate with suitable facilities.
