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.

Pilot Studies is challenging and demanding, whilst remaining interesting and compelling. I’ve had the opportunity to fly light aircraft and the University has flight simulators which other universities don’t have. The University also helped me to get an internship in the engineering sector. Studying and living in Liverpool has really increased my confidence.
