We have a worldwide reputation for ground-breaking teaching and research by leading academics. More than 75% of our graduates receive a First or 2:1 and we're first in the Russell Group for graduate employability. With its unique attractions, famously warm welcomes, and global reputation for sport, music, architecture and culture for you to explore, there's nowhere quite like Liverpool.
One of the first things you notice when you come to Liverpool is how friendly the people are and international students are clearly welcome here. The University of Liverpool is very diverse and it has given me the opportunity to meet people from all over England and well as the rest of the world.
