Hello! My name is Shifra, I have just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Law from the University of Liverpool. I had an incredible time during my three years at university and I want to encourage others to pick Liverpool! So, here are my five top reasons to study at the University of Liverpool.
1. It’s a vibrant and beautiful city
Liverpool is the place to be as an international student! The city was voted the 4th friendliest city in the world by Rough Guide, and it comes as no surprise to me. The people are warm, fun and embrace different cultures.
Speaking of culture, you will learn about many cultures since there are lots of galleries and museums to explore. Also, you’ll be glad to know it’s very cost-effective to live there.
2. There are study abroad opportunities

3. You’ll receive support for the future
The careers and employability services on offer at the University of Liverpool are fantastic, and I’ve found them really helpful when thinking about my future. The University is also known among employers for its great graduates. Consequently, 88% of graduates are in employment or further study within 6 months, which is a very reassuring statistic.
4. You could make new discoveries
At the University of Liverpool, you will be challenged to apply your knowledge to the world outside. The University focuses heavily on research, and 81% of the research carried out is rated world leading and internationally excellent, according to the Research Excellence Framework.
