Overview
A university since 1903, Liverpool markets itself as ‘the Original Redbrick’ – the name given to a group of six city-based universities opened at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a member of the 24-strong Russell Group of universities characterised by their heavy investment in research and high entry requirements for undergraduates. With Liverpool John Moores University next door, a large district of central Liverpool is effectively a glorified university precinct. The popular medical school within the Royal Liverpool University Hospital borders one side of this district, and health-related subjects, dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, architecture and engineering are among the subject areas for which the university is best known. Applications to Liverpool hit a record last year, topping 43,000. While popular with local students – one-third of the intake comes from the North West – Liverpool recruits nationally and internationally, with the South East, Yorkshire and the West Midlands also sending large numbers of students who want to make the most of the university’s formidable academic reputation and the city’s legendary nightlife.

Paying the bills
Significant support is targeted at students from homes with a household income of less than £35,000, who receive a Liverpool Bursary of £750 in each year of study, rising to £2,000 per year where household income drops below £25,000. All students in receipt of any bursary also get a 15% discount on the annual cost of accommodation in university halls, which is worth between £865 and £1,327 depending on the type of room booked. Undiscounted accommodation prices typically vary from £5,766 to £8,848 per year for a 39-week contract in self-catered rooms. Further scholarships are available for mature students, young carers and care leavers, and those who are estranged from their parents. Financial awards are also available to students who complete widening participation programmes. This covers schemes such as Liverpool Scholars (where students get a guaranteed conditional offer at least two grades below the standard one plus a bursary) and Realising Opportunities (£2,000 fee waiver or cash award). The programmes are delivered in partnership with more than 40 schools and colleges across Merseyside. Overall, 32% of undergraduates received some form of scholarship or bursary support last year. On top of that, a growing number of students are receiving hardship support after the university trebled the size of its hardship fund to £1.5m in the past year.

What’s new?
The university is in the midst of executing a 15-year campus masterplan which will see £1bn spent on new and improved facilities. An upgrade of free-to-use campus sports provision was completed in the past academic year, incorporating a calisthenics gym, a container gym, a 100m running track, a new campus running route and a half basketball court. The free facilities and classes alongside other excellent paid-for provision is part of a drive to encourage as many students to be physically active as possible. A new showcase building for the school of architecture is under way as part of the wider redevelopment.

Admissions, teaching and student support
With roughly four in every ten students being the first in their family to go to university, Liverpool has a better record for social diversity on campus than most of the Russell Group. At any point, there are about 1,500 young people registered on long-term outreach initiatives, notably the Liverpool Scholars programme, see Paying the bills, above. There are bespoke programmes to open up medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, engineering, law, and banking and finance to under-represented groups. One in seven applicants to the university for admission this month are expected to have received a contextual offer of up to two grades below the university’s standard subject offer. Students admitted through widening participation routes are encouraged to apply for paid positions as Liverpool Advocates when they join the university to help inspire others from similar backgrounds to join them at the university. Pastoral, wellbeing and mental health support is available centrally, through residential advisers and wardens in halls, and through learning and teaching support officers or student experience teams within academic schools. Most teaching, lectures, seminars and workshops have returned to in-person delivery post-pandemic, although courses continue to have elements of online to complement the on-campus experience. The majority of lectures are now recorded via lecture capture to allow students to review content, refresh memories and revise from at a later date.
