At Edge Hill University, we’ve been helping students embark on truly inspirational journeys since 1885. Creating access to knowledge and opening up opportunities. Now it’s your time. Based on our beautiful Ormskirk campus in Lancashire, we have it all. Teaching excellence. Award-winning facilities. A diverse and tight-knit community. With halls located on campus, meaning you’ll live, study and socialise in one place. That’s why we’re top 4 in the North West and one of the highest climbers in this year’s Guardian Good University Guide. Providing you with the foundations to expand your opportunities and shape your future.
Student Life
Whether you choose to live on or off campus, you will find everything you need within easy reach. Catch a comedy performance or film screening at the Arts Centre. Grab a bite to eat with friends at one of our cafes. Or choose from a variety of recreational activities to enjoy at our sports and leisure centre. The town itself offers a dynamic social scene with live music, restaurants and local events, whilst the bustling city lights of Liverpool or coastal experiences are just around the corner. Most importantly, the cost of living in the North West is consistently low. Making Ormskirk an affordable option. So you can squeeze as much fun as possible into your student life. Just a few of the reasons why we’re rated Gold for Student Experience, and silver overall, in the recent TEF 2023.
Accommodation
Find your home from home in our modern accommodation options. All designed to meet the needs of our students. And they agree. We’re Top in the UK for accommodation based on their reviews (Uni Compare 2023). We have over 2,000 rooms located on campus with prices starting from as little as £85 per week for 2024/25 – that’s below the national average. And, because we own our own halls, we never implement big rent increases and can guarantee a room for all full-time, first-year UK undergraduates who make us their firm choice.
Open Days
The best way to explore our campus and see Edge Hill for yourself is to visit us at one of our Open Days, which take place throughout the year. Take a look around campus, facilities and accommodation, discover the local area and get your questions answered. You'll soon see why we’re award-winning. Check out the open day calendar to put a date in your diary. Alternatively, you can book a guided campus tour if you can’t make one of our open days.
