Why your student should choose Liverpool
Choosing the University of Liverpool through the 20-year partnership with XJTLU, whether via the 2+2 or 2+1+1 programme, is a transformative step in your child's education, offering them a world-class international experience at a top 20 UK university (The Times 2026). Studying at our prestigious Russell Group university equips them with a globally recognised degree, develops highly sought-after skills like adaptability and a global outlook, and provides an invaluable foundation for future success, whether they choose to pursue a top-tier master's degree or to launch their career. Beyond academics, your child will also enjoy a vibrant and supportive environment in Liverpool, recently voted the 2nd best student city in the UK (StudentCrowd 2025).
We understand that this transition is a significant step for the whole family, and we want to assure you that your child will be fully supported throughout their journey. From dedicated advisors during the application process to comprehensive on-campus services covering academic, wellbeing, and career support, we're here to help them thrive.
