Liverpool University

Requirements are set by the individual degree and may include specific subjects, an admissions test, a portfolio, an interview or relevant experience. International qualifications are assessed against the university's published country equivalencies, and each offer states the exact academic and non-academic conditions.

Applicants whose first language is not English take an approved test, with bands set by course. Many programmes expect around IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 overall with minimums in each part, while some ask for 7.0 or higher. Liverpool lists accepted tests, including TOEFL, and offers pre-sessional English courses for those needing extra preparation.

International students pay the tuition fee set for their course and year of entry. Some programmes also have costs for placements, fieldwork, laboratory materials or professional requirements. Scholarships and bursaries have separate eligibility rules and are competitive rather than automatic.

The campus sits in the heart of Liverpool, so lectures, libraries, and the Guild of Students are close to the city's music venues, galleries, docks, and nightlife. University accommodation is allocated under eligibility, application and deadline rules. Any first-year guarantee applies only to students who meet all stated conditions; other offers depend on room availability. Clubs, sport and support are provided through the students' union and university services.

Liverpool is a partner in Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China. Study-abroad or transfer options are available only through Liverpool programmes covered by the current partnership and mobility rules.
