At Edge Hill University we believe in the life changing opportunities knowledge can create. Since 1885, we've been creating access to knowledge for those who may not have had the opportunity to before.

Today, the effect we have has a far-reaching impact, not just for those who come to study here but for those who work, invest in, and live in our local communities too. So, if you've ever wondered if one person can make a difference, simply speak to our alumni, students, and award-winning staff.

Because for us education isn't about how much you take in. It's about what you take out into the world.
