The University of Liverpool was founded in 1881 and has since developed a strong reputation in many fields from academic to sporting tradition. 130 years later, in 2011, the university announced a £660m investment into the ‘student experience’ – recognising how the latest generation of students want more than just a traditional learning environment. They want the whole university lifestyle: freedom, fun and new opportunities. The University of Liverpool delivers here where others don’t, and in the coming years these investments are sure to flourish as others get left behind.

LIVERPOOL JOHN MOORES UNIVERSITY

Liverpool John Moores University is the most popular university in Liverpool with approximately 25,000 students. In 1992, when it secured university status, the university chose the name John Moores to celebrate the Liverpudlian founder of Littlewoods. However it was Moores’s belief in opportunities for everyone which really reflected the university’s attitude towards offering Higher Education to those from all walks of life.
