Edge Hill University

Since 1885, Edge Hill University has been helping students embark on inspirational journeys, creating access to knowledge and opening up opportunities. Now it’s your time.

Investing over £350m in the last decade, Edge Hill offers a modern campus environment with everything you need in one place. Home to industry-standard sport facilities, simulated study spaces and modern living spaces, it’s easy to see why we’re one of the highest Climbers in the Guardian Good University Guide 2024 and top four in the North West.

Located in the student town of Ormskirk, you’ll live and study in the heart of Lancashire. Just a stone’s throw away from exciting cities like Liverpool and Manchester, and some of England’s best countryside and coast. For the second year running, students ranked our accommodation best in the UK (Uni Compare 2024). And because we own and manage our halls on campus, we can guarantee rooms and keep fees below the national average. So you can keep more money in your pocket and squeeze as much fun as possible into your student life.

We’re proud of the exceptional quality of our teaching and the enriching student experience we offer. Recently ranked 9th in the UK for course quality by students (Uni Compare 2025) and awarded Gold for Student Experience in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework (Silver for Student Outcomes and Silver Overall, 2023).

Our vibrant campus community is a place where staff and students come together, opening up new possibilities to make ambitions more achievable. Taught by experts in their field, you’ll find yourself inspired and challenged throughout your course, with access to state-of-the-art facilities to bring your subject to life.

Take advantage of life-changing opportunities to study abroad, go on placement or volunteer, and even learn a new language. Joining clubs and societies is also a great way to find your community. Choose from more than 60 EHSU societies or create your own. Whether learning new skills or indulging in an existing hobby or interest, Edge Hill offers countless opportunities to broaden horizons, create new memories and make friends for life.

The University’s supportive networks, industry connections and continuous investment facilities mean you won’t be short of ways to reach your potential. Our facilities are rated 3rd in the UK (WhatUni 2023), giving you the professional insight and skills to meet the demands of your chosen career. That’s why 95.6% of our students are employed or in further study 15 months after graduating (Graduate Outcomes 2023).
