Why choose Liverpool to study?

Liverpool is a vibrant student city offering something for everyone, plenty of cultural, sporting, musical and social opportunities. Being a student at LILA* offers you the chance to get involved with all these aspects of the city and explore true England.

Students new to Liverpool are always amazed by the rich culture, museums, galleries, bars, cosmopolitan shops and restaurants, that Liverpool has to offer. Sporting fans enjoy the friendly rivalry between Liverpool’s two premier football teams, Liverpool FC and Everton FC.

Liverpool’s historic waterfront has been a focal point of the city for over eight hundred years, so it seems appropriate that the Pier Head - including the world famous Liver Buildings - is a UNESCO-recognised World Heritage Site. Not forgetting its inhabitants, of course, who are famously friendly and will welcome you with pride.
