Voted the fourth friendliest city in the world, Liverpool is a wonderfully welcoming place, is the birthplace of The Beatles and has more galleries and museums than any other UK city outside of London.

Our School of Veterinary Science has two campuses, our city centre campus for years 1-3 and our Leahurst campus on the Wirral for years 4 and 5 of the course. On-site facilities include working farms, teaching hospitals and diagnostic services for pathology and post-mortems.
