Liverpool is a fantastic, culturally rich student city, bursting with opportunities and lots of things to do.
It has a legendary music scene that’s bigger than just the Beatles, a city centre packed with clubs, pubs, bars and cafés, and a restaurant scene that will allow you to explore the cuisine of any culture.
The city also has Liverpool One – the £1 billion award-winning shopping development that attracts 2 million visitors every month – as well as an impressive number of galleries and museums, two Premier League football clubs, golf courses, beautiful parks, and outstanding countryside within a few miles drive.
