The University of Liverpool is a world leading research university. Its history dates back to 1881 and the establishment of University College Liverpool.
Liverpool is the original redbrick university. The term 'redbrick' was inspired from the iconic Victoria Building, completed in 1892.
Today, the University continues to expand its teaching and research with centres of excellence in areas such as medicine, engineering and veterinary science. It is a member of the Russell Group, the association of the UK's top 20 research-led universities.
Building on its global academic reputation, the University was the first in the UK to open an independent university in China.
There are 21,000 students and 4,900 staff at the University.
