Sort:Latest reviewsIts perfect location close to city centre but not too busy! Feels like a campus uni in a city. Some of the buildings are slightly outdated and could do with a revamp.
The campus is pretty and easy to navigate. Liverpool is a great city for students with lots to do and lots to get involved in; it's a very student friendly city. There's loads of societies and activities going on in uni. I don't really have many faults. My teachers are helpful and reasonable in what they ask of me work wise.
best- opportunity’s such as societies could be improved by more trips available with funding and more support during exams
The best campus and place to study amazing vibe

I love the community here at Uni of Liverpool. We have such great facilities, the libraries are great, the Guild (our students' union) is huge and offers a great deal of events and spaces. The societies have allowed me to make great friends here, and as a whole Liverpool is a great student city with good nightlife and things like museums and galleries, plus good transport links to Manchester where there is even more of that. The thing I dislike most about UOL is that it is not close to any big parks or nature spots, so I have to take public transport to get away from the city life when I need to. I have also had some trouble accessing support with my studies but that is mostly because a lot of information was dumped on us in the first week about teams and staff members, and I couldn't quite take it all in.
Good
The best aspect of my university experience has been the academic independence and access to high-quality teaching and resources. I’ve valued the opportunity to engage with knowledgeable lecturers, develop critical thinking skills, and study in a city with a strong student culture and sense of community. The worst aspect has been some inconsistency in communication and support, particularly around assessment feedback and administrative processes, which at times felt slow or unclear. While the overall experience has been positive, improved transparency and responsiveness would have made it more effective and less stressful for students.
Teaching here is the worst. Most professors or at least the ones I’ve studied with just read from the slides. You’re better off paying for private lessons than coming here, The exams are unfair and sometimes they include questions that were never mentioned in the module. If I could go back in time, I would have chosen a different Uni, the city is nice tho.
There is great support provided on campus for students, however I have found feedback on assignments to be an issue, taking up to 3 months to recieve feedback.

Such a beautiful campus that is only 10 minutes away from the city centre. Amazing library facilities and loads of societies you can get involved in. An excellent Careers and Employability Team which provide lots of advice and support and volunteering opportunities. Student life is great, always something to do. Union always puts on events It could be better if the sports memberships were cheaper. Many require a joining fee of £72 and then you have to pay for additional things on top of that.
best-> good access to resources especially as a biology students e.g.. such as in labs. -very diverse and welcoming -many social activities so never feel lonely - useful staff that support you when you need improvement-> personally i would like it if the deadlines for assemements did not clash with exam week or exam holidays as it does not leave for enough time to complete the assesments.
Great place to study but the actual classes seem outdated and don’t use technology to the fullest extent
Great time here, very social and love the facilities
Pretty chill. More variety of social events.
University of Liverpool provides students with a great learning facility. Its close proximity to central makes it’s easy to commute around the city.
Cheaper Facility and sports memberships would improve it a lot
Its a great university, try really hard to keep us all upto date with everything and enhance our likely hood to suceed. The city is amazing, location is so close to town centre. Pretty good

I really love studying at this university because the vibe and atmosphere is so friendly. I’ve made some great friends and the course is really engaging :)
My lecturers are extremely knowledgeable and I find the content engaging. I do however think the shared first year among biosciences means I don’t get to do as much specific zoology content as I’d like to
I love the convenience and size of them. The thing i like the least is a shared kitchen due to other people’s cleanliness
