Accommodation

International Summer School students are housed in our fantastic University halls of residence that offers students a comfortable and safe setting during their time with us, as well as providing an extra opportunity for meeting new people and making lifelong friendships.

University accommodation is guaranteed, meaning you do not need to apply separately for accommodation and you will automatically be allocated a room on acceptance of your unconditional offer letter.

International Summer School students are able to opt-out of University accommodation – whether they prefer to make alternative arrangements, or stay with family or friends – but we strongly recommend staying with us on campus and immersing yourself in the community atmosphere.

Liverpool is a truly unique city, renowned for its rich culture, character, and warmth. Located in one of the most beautiful regions of the UK, it offers easy access to everything from historic castles and vibrant coastal towns to breathtaking mountains and iconic landmarks.

From welcome and farewell celebrations to beach trips, nature walks, picnics, and games, our extensive programme has something for everyone. The programme also includes sporting activities, movie nights, and much more – including an unforgettable full-day trip to Wales.

Student experiences

Over the course of the last three weeks, I can genuinely say that Liverpool has felt like a second home for me. Between going to class, travelling, and meeting so many new people, I really feel like this experience has helped me grow and learn so much as a person and student. I am so grateful for the memories I've made here, and cannot believe how quickly the time goes by. UoL is a great place to be.

The best thing about this programme was definitely how welcoming and supportive everyone was – from the university staff to the students and even the people of Liverpool. As a medical student from Saudi Arabia, it was amazing to be part of such a diverse and inclusive environment. I learned so much academically and culturally, and the time passed so quickly – I truly didn’t want it to end!
