Our students don’t just go on to do great things. They go on to inspire others.

We’ve been inspiring minds and shaping futures since 1885. We believe in creating access to knowledge, because we know that out of knowledge comes opportunity. Opportunity that opens doors to change and empowers you to build a different future. Not just for yourself, but across society too. Sharing ideas with energy and authenticity to inspire those around you. To make the world a better place.

That’s why we’re Modern University of the Year 2022 in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide. Recognising our £350m investment over the last decade to create an inspirational and diverse environment that helps drive our mission forward. Creating a place where you will thrive.

Inspirational Teaching

Our courses fuel ambition and encourage curiosity. That’s why we’re in the UK top 10 for postgraduate study (Whatuni Awards 2022). Courses are designed to delve deeper into topics you may have studied before, or are looking to newly explore, as well as refining your skill set ahead of specialist career paths.

Academics are experts in their field. Their research underpins curriculums and ensures programmes are relevant to today’s world. Guest speakers from the worlds of media, sport, business and health also regularly visit campus giving you the chance to learn from industry leaders and grow your network.

World-Leading Research

Be involved in research that counts working on insights that have a far-reaching impact for society, culture and the economy.

We’re home to a dynamic research culture that spans a range of disciplines and brings together researchers into three institutes:

• The Institute for Creative Enterprise (ICE)
• The Institute for Social Responsibility (ISR)
• The Health Research Institute (HRI)

With everything we do, we strive to make a difference. That’s why more than half of our research is classed as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ in the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021).

Award-Winning Campus. Outstanding Facilities.

We know that the environment and way you study makes a big impact on career progression, so our investment in great spaces never stands still. Take one look at campus and you’ll see why it’s award-winning. Kitted out lecture halls. A library that much more that bookshelves. Green spaces and coffee spots to reset and unwind. It’s a place where you can truly learn and achieve your ambitions.

This continuous progress has placed us 2nd in the UK for university facilities (Whatuni Awards, 2022). Specialist facilities include:

• Experimental labs for Biosciences, Geosciences and Psychology
• Sports therapy and rehab clinic
• The CAVE: 4k super immersive virtual 3D environment for Computer Science
• On-campus courtroom
• Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre for Health, Social Care and Medicine

North West Location

Study in a region with real personality. Based in the heart of the North West near the historic market town of Ormskirk, there’s everything you need on your doorstep. Shops, cafes, parks, nightlife. The town centre is just a 10-minute walk away or a 2-minute free shuttle bus journey. Nestled between great northern cities like Liverpool, Preston and Manchester with fast transport links to each, you’ll also be in the right place for securing job opportunities and exploring the region’s cultural hotspots and beauty spots.

Funding and Entry Requirements

Entry requirements vary depending on the postgraduate course. Most Masters and PGCEs typically ask for a 2:2 or above in a relevant subject, however we are committed to broadening access to knowledge so if we feel you have the right professional experience for the course get in touch or check requirements on the university website.

We don’t want finance to be a barrier to success either. There are many options available to help fund your studies including DfE bursaries for PGCE students, studentships for research students and scholarships that reward excellence outside your studies and sporting talent. If you have an innovative career-enhancing idea our Student Opportunity Fund offers up to £2,000 to help make it happen.
