About the university

Edge Hill University began in Liverpool in 1885 as the first non-denominational teacher training college for women. It is now a public university on a single campus in Ormskirk, Lancashire, with almost 10,000 full-time students.

Edge Hill teaches a wide range of subjects, including education, health and nursing, computing and business. Its campus has been recognised with a Green Flag Award, and its Department of Computer Science is based in a £13 million Tech Hub.

For Indian students the main draw is cost.

Eligible students also get a £3,000 Global Vice-Chancellor's Award automatically.

Ormskirk is a market town; the campus is a 15-minute walk from the town centre. Liverpool Airport is about 30 minutes away by car and Manchester Airport about 40 minutes.
