Foundation

The university of Liverpool, which is one of the oldest civil universities in the UK, was established in 1881. The standard of research within the University of Liverpool is reflected in the results of the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). In this, 38 of the 43 subject areas submitted for assessment received a score of 4, 5 or 5* (out of a possible 5*).

The university can offer more than 200 undergraduate programmes in over 100 subject areas, from established degrees in “the professions” (e.g. law, engineering, medicine, dentistry) to modern programmes in new fields of study (e.g. e-business). This is in addition to wide range of postgraduate programmes, both taught and research.

The School of Tropical Medicine, one of just two specialized centers in the UK, is the oldest in the world, founded in 1899, and the Schools of Architecture and Veterinary Science were the very first to be opened in the UK. Liverpool’s innovation and diversity are just as strong today; in September 2002 we launched our £10million Management School, and construction is nearly complete of a new £23 million Biosciences Center, housing the School of Biological Sciences.

History

Liverpool is famous worldwide for its richness in sport and music. It has two English Premiership football teams, Liverpool and Everton, and is the home of the Beatles, big-name club DJs and the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

At the University of Liverpool, you can take part in sport, music, which you are interested in, and more to occupy you when you aren't studying

The quality of teaching is assessed by visits to individual university departments. 27 departments were assessed and 17 awarded an “Excellent” score (a score of 22/24 or more), a further five only missing being classed as “Excellent” by one point. International students can be sure that whatever programme they choose, they will be taught by staff who are experts in their field and who have a genuine commitment to education.
