The University of Liverpool is a public university
based in the city of Liverpool, England. Founded as a
college in 1881, it gained its royal charter in 1903
with the ability to award degrees and is also known to
be one of the six original 'red brick' civic
universities. It comprises three faculties organised
into 35 departments and schools. It is a founding member
of the Russell Group, the N8 Group for research
collaboration and the university management school is
AACSB accredited.
Ten Nobel Prize winners are amongst its alumni and past
faculty and the university offers more than 230 first
degree courses across 103 subjects. Its alumni
include the CEOs of GlobalFoundries, ARM Holdings,
Tesco, Motorola and The Coca-Cola Company. It was the
world's first university to establish departments in
oceanography, civic design, architecture, and
biochemistry at the Johnston Laboratories. In 2006
the university became the first in the UK to establish
an independent university in China, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool
University, making it the world's first Sino-British
university.
