Edge Hill University is a university in North West England whose main campus is in Ormskirk, Lancashire, within walking distance of the town and a short train ride from Liverpool and Manchester. It opened in Liverpool in 1885 as Edge Hill College, a teacher training college for women, and now has almost 10,000 full-time students, about 3,000 part-time undergraduates and almost 5,000 postgraduates. A small number of health courses are taught at its St James' campus in Manchester.
The university offers over 250 courses in three faculties: Arts and Sciences; Health, Social Care and Medicine; and Education. Subject areas include:
- Business, accounting, finance and marketing
- Computer science, engineering and mathematics
- Law, criminology, policing and politics
- Psychology, social work and sociology
- Film, media, animation, creative writing and performing arts
- Education and teaching, medicine, nursing and health
International students can apply directly, through UCAS for undergraduate degrees, or through agents and partners, and some postgraduate courses start in January. Edge Hill also takes part in study abroad and Erasmus+ exchanges. Its accommodation is owned and managed by the university and spread across six areas of the campus.
