Why demand for a place at Liverpool’s universities is increasing among international students

March 15, 2021
|
by Editor

Liverpool has over 11,000 international students1 and counting. With the UK benchmark for international students at 13% growth each year, why is Liverpool growing at a rate of 19%2? 

The answer is simple – Liverpool has everything you could need as an international student; five Universities, traditional British and vibrant modern culture, great transport links and accommodation so well catered it makes a home away from home. 

With just over 51,000 students, international students make up over 20% of the total students in the city. This is in part due to high quality of Universities available, of which there are five: The University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moore University, Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, plus the accompanying course offering, with a high focus on science, technology, engineering and maths courses. 

However, University isn’t just about the course you study, it is about the city you adopt as your new home. Liverpool has a rich history of culture from The Beatles, to the iconic story of the Titanic, to learning about WWII at the U-Boat Story, to more recently shopping at Liverpool One and the buzzing Cavern Quarter Victoria Street for an all-immersive British nightlife. The range of activities and culture is certainly a pull for international students to learn not only about their chosen course, but the city they live in. 

Why demand for a place at Liverpool’s universities is increasing among international students

The transport links to and from Liverpool are ideal for international students coming from the Far East, most notably Chinese students which make up 54% of the international students at The University of Liverpool compared to the 26% average at other Universities. Liverpool being easily accessible through their own major international airport, and easy train access to Manchester, London and Glasgow makes the city even more appealing.

As well as the city itself, arguably the deciding vote for where you go to University abroad lies with where you will be spending most of your time – your accommodation and the community it offers you. Enter true Liverpool. Set to revolutionise student accommodation in the city, purpose-built student accommodation brand true student have an established and proven track record in delivering market leading experience for students.

Ben Morley, managing director at true Student said:
