Edge Hill is a rapidly growing institution which now has almost 10,000 full-time students (including undergraduates and postgraduates). The university is expanding physically, too. An investment of £200m over the next 10 years means the main campus – a 160-acre site located outside Liverpool near Ormskirk – is set to expand significantly. A £13.5m student hub has recently opened, and a £55m is being invested in a new sports complex and more on-campus student accommodation. Edge Hill University boasts strong levels of graduate employment, with 93.4% of graduates finding work or further study within six months of finishing their course. The flagship £17m Creative Edge building opened in September 2013 and includes industry-standard facilities for students studying courses in media, film, animation, advertising and computing. Edge Hill University is top five in England for personal development and top two in the north-west for overall student satisfaction in the latest national student survey.

Sporting Edge, the on-campus sports centre, provides high-quality facilities that were included in the Olympic pre-games training guide for London 2012. The centre includes a fully equipped gym, a swimming pool, a running track and sports fields. Transport The motorway connections to the rest of the UK are easy enough, but the train journey means a change at Liverpool or Preston.
