About us
Our story began in 1881 when we became one of the first civic universities - the original redbrick.
Today, we’re a globally recognised Russell Group university, associated with nine Nobel Prize winners. We're home to valued research and lively, original thinking.
The city of Liverpool is a unique and exciting place to study and live in. It shapes the University through its dynamic spirit, global outlook, and pioneering opportunities.
We’re proud to have achieved Gold status in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023. Our offer excels in aspects such as course teaching, learning resources, and progression rates.

It’s a multicultural university in a diverse, friendly and vibrant city that suits everyone. It was the best three years of my life! The opportunities I had there, the things I got to do and the time I spent with my friends were the best. Liverpool is not just a city, it’s a whole experience!
