On-campus. On point.
It’s all here. A home to make your own. A library that’s much more than bookshelves. A sports centre fit for pros in the making, first timers, and everything in between. Lecture halls and classrooms kitted out with everything you need to succeed. Bars and an SU that don’t need a taxi to get to. It’s a home, a place to study and a place to grow, and we’ve built it for you.
Maya, a Creative Arts student, takes us on a whistle-stop tour of Edge Hill’s award-winning campus. From the traditional architecture of the Main Building to the ground-breaking technology within the Biosciences and Tech Hub, you will get a taste of Edge Hill life and what the campus has to offer along with sneak peeks at our social areas and newly refurbished student accommodation.

We believe that where you study and the way you study can make a world of difference to your life opportunities.
We understand how students like to use our campus, building outstanding new spaces that not only prepare you for the world of work, but are also inspiring to be around.
That’s why we’ve invested over £350m to make our campus one of outstanding study spaces, sports facilities, living quarters, collaborative hideaways and simulated work places.
Whatever subject you study, our specialist facilities ensure you’re developing the skills and knowledge employers want. That might be studios where you’re free to unleash your ideas and experiment, a simulated operating theatre environment for you to become confident with clinical skills, or virtual and augmented reality facilities.
You’ll find all the information about the resources for your subject area on our subject pages.

En suite accommodation, a new Students’ Union and outdoor spaces built just for you. Sound good? We’ve designed it in collaboration with our current students to become the new social heart of the campus.
Right at the centre of the development is the brand-new £8.5m Students’ Union (SU) facility. The building features flexible indoor spaces which can be used for day- and night-time events. There are society rooms, informal open spaces and the technology to create more interactive experiences. And the social spaces spill out into the outdoors too. Think open air cinema. Food markets. Or just space to meet, relax, belong.
Alongside our social space is our newest accommodation. We’re ranked 1st in the UK for accommodation (Uni Compare 2025), and scooped Best Student Home at the Association for Student Residential Accommodation (ASRA) Awards 2024. And we’ve invested £23.6m to add another 248 en suite rooms to allow as many students as possible to enjoy our outstanding student experience.
The new developments will contribute to a campus atmosphere that will inspire you, both academically and socially. More space to breathe and develop your potential.
