Our reputation reflects the experience our students have here. Ranked 4th in the UK in the Uni Compare Top 100 rankings 2027, based on thousands of student reviews, and 2nd in the North West for Student Satisfaction (Complete University Guide 2027), we're recognised for delivering an outstanding student experience, support and outcomes. But for us, success is about more than league tables. It's about the opportunities we create and what they help every student achieve.

We invest, we build and we evolve, creating a campus designed around the way you want to learn, live and succeed. Based in the friendly student town of Ormskirk, our award-winning campus is home to industry-standard facilities, immersive learning environments, welcoming social spaces and modern accommodation – ranked 1st in the UK for best university halls for four years running*.

Located in the heart of the North West, we're perfectly placed between vibrant cities, beautiful coastline and countryside. We also have a Manchester campus where selected healthcare courses are delivered. Wherever you study, you’ll be connected with space to focus, grow and explore.

Everything we do is centred on helping you fulfil your potential. Our research-active academics bring real-world insight, industry connections and the latest thinking into every course, helping you graduate ready to make an impact. Ranked 6th in the UK for course quality*, you'll be challenged, supported and inspired from day one. Courses span three faculties – Health, Social Care and Medicine; Education; and Arts and Sciences, offering a wide range of opportunities to explore your interests and build the skills for a successful future.

University is more than a degree. It’s about discovering who you are, building lifelong friendships and finding yourself. Named University of the Year for Student Experience*, we offer countless ways to get involved, from joining sports teams and societies, to volunteering and language learning. You’ll join a community that encourages you to try new things, make connections and broaden your horizons. Our brand-new Students’ Union building is home to bars, a nightclub, arcade games, live sport and events, while our Sports Centre and Arts Centre provide opportunities to stay active, get creative and enjoy a year-round programme of performances.

Your future starts long before graduation, which is why employability is woven into every aspect of your experience. Whether it's tackling real-world problems on placement, studying abroad, or working on projects in a paid role, you'll build the skills, confidence and professional networks employers value. Ranked 3rd in the UK for employability*, our Careers team provides tailored advice, CV and interview support, workshops and employer events. It's all part of why 96.2% of our graduates are in work or further study within 15 months (Graduate Outcomes 2025).
