About University of Liverpool
The University of Liverpool is a public research university in Liverpool, England. It was founded in 1881 as University College Liverpool, joined the federal Victoria University in 1884 and received its Royal Charter in 1903, which gave it its own degree-awarding powers. Its Victoria Building, opened in 1892, inspired the term red brick university and now houses the Victoria Gallery and Museum. It is a founding member of the Russell Group and the N8 Research Partnership. Teaching is organised in three faculties (Health and Life Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Science and Engineering) and 35 schools and departments. In 2024/25 it had 31,050 students, 23,490 undergraduates and 7,560 postgraduates, and about 30% of students are international. In REF 2021 it was joint 25th by grade point average and 19th for research power. Ten Nobel laureates are associated with the university, including Ronald Ross and James Chadwick. In 2006 it co-founded Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China, and in 2026 it opened a campus in Bengaluru, India. The 100-acre main campus sits on Brownlow Hill and Mount Pleasant, about five minutes' walk from Liverpool city centre.
