Edge Hill University opened in Liverpool in 1885 with 41 students as the first non-denominational teacher training college for women. It moved to its current Ormskirk campus in 1933, gained taught degree-awarding powers and university title in 2006, and research degree-awarding powers in 2008.
Its 160-acre green campus is within walking distance of the Lancashire market town of Ormskirk and a short train ride from Liverpool and Manchester; a small number of health courses, such as Paramedic Practice, are taught at its St James’ campus in Manchester city centre. It has almost 10,000 full-time and 3,000 part-time undergraduates and almost 5,000 postgraduates, and more than 250 courses are taught across 3 faculties: Arts and Sciences; Health, Social Care and Medicine; and Education.
In the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF 2023) it was rated Silver overall and Gold, the highest rating, for student experience. It was named University of the Year for Student Experience in the Daily Mail University Guide 2026, and is ranked 58th in the Complete University Guide 2027 and 60th in the Guardian University Guide 2027.
More than £350 million has been invested in the campus over 15 years, including a £17.4 million laboratory building, an £8.5 million Students’ Union and 248 new en-suite rooms. Edge Hill Sport offers a 25 m swimming pool, a running track and an 80-station fitness suite. International students automatically receive the £3,000 Global Vice-Chancellor’s Award.
