Semester Abroad in England
Studying in England
For advancement of learning and ennoblement of life. This has been the mission since the University of Liverpool was founded in 1881. To this day, these values focus our efforts as we strive to achieve our ambitions and tackle the grand challenges of the age.
“The importance of this program is hard to put into words - studying abroad was undoubtedly the best experience of my life. There were so many benefits to studying in England, but I feel that the most important were actually living and immersing myself in a completely different culture and gaining a sense of independence.”
—Sarah Smith
