About the Edge Hill University

Edge Hill University is based on an attractive, award-winning 160-acre campus in Lancashire, close to Liverpool and Manchester. We have invested £350 million in creating top facilities for our students to use, live in, and enjoy. Our campus is designed around our students – and we’re always thinking of ways to make it better. For the 10th year in a row our grounds and green spaces have won a Green Flag Award for their beauty and benefit to the environment. Which in turn we believe benefits our students. The institution has been providing higher education for more than 130 years, with a mission to create opportunity from knowledge. The University is an academic community comprising more than 11,000 full time undergraduate and postgraduate students and a further 3,200 on part time programmes. We set out to deliver teaching of the highest standard informed by research of true international standing, set in an intellectually stimulating, ideas-focused and inclusive environment. More than half of Edge Hill’s research is classed as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021.
