Our at-a-glance guide to the University of Liverpool Liverpool is arguably the redbrick university - the phrase was coined by a Liverpool academic familiar with the local architecture, like the (red, brick) Victoria building, the administrative heart of the university. And it has everything you'd expect from a classic redbrick: excellent ratings in teaching and research, a large and diverse student body, a strong sense of self and a location in a top city. Now would be a great time to apply to Liverpool - in 2008 it became the European Capital of Culture, and the investment is paying off. In 2006, the university opened the first independent Anglo-Asian university in China in partnership with Xi'an Jiaotong University in Suzhou. Students can opt to take work placements in Suzhou. And the university is planning collaborations with universities in Chile, Mexico and Spain. £200m of investment is also taking place on the university's campus near the centre of Liverpool. Facilities for fun are great (the student union building is the largest in the country), the cost of living is low, and there is a real commitment to opening access and to the local community. Fees
£9,000 for full-time undergraduates in 2012-13. Bursaries
The university intends to commit 30% of its additional fee income in 2012-13 to supporting students from lower-income backgrounds and will offer enhanced outreach activities alongside new measures to support retention. Approximately 30% of students joining the university in 2012 will qualify for a minimum bursary of £2,000 a year for the duration of their course. In addition, some students will qualify for up to £9,000 of support in bursaries and fee waivers during their course. Accommodation
The university is investing £45m in its new Eco Residences project, which will involve the development of 700 en-suite study bedrooms on its city centre campus. The scheme will also include shops and a new 250-seat restaurant. The residences are planned to open in September 2012. Facilities
Two main libraries, one of which enjoyed a £17m redevelopment in summer 2008. Extensive sports grounds and the student union offers a choice of three bars. A £25m development of state-of-the-art teaching laboratories for the physical sciences to include 15 state-of-the-art teaching laboratories is due for completion in 2012. Overall, the university is investing £600m on teaching, research and residential estate over a 10-year period. Transport
The campus is situated about 10 minutes' walk from the city centre. Good for trains and coaches, and there are motorways almost on the doorstep.
