Pre-Sessional English Accomodation Offer

Accommodation offer for summer courses running from June to September 2025

If you’re an international offer holder required to complete a 6- or 10-week pre-sessional English course to meet the terms of your offer to study a master’s programme at the University of Liverpool in September 2025, you qualify for the Pre-sessional English accommodation offer. Please note you must also meet the requirements of the 6- or 10-week pre-sessional English course.

What does the offer include?

  • On-campus accommodation for the duration of your pre-sessional English course and master's programme

We are offering accommodation at Philharmonic Court for the duration of either our 6- or 10-week pre-sessional English course on campus. You'll live alongside other students on the pre-sessional course, helping you to make friends, build your network, and explore both the University and the city of Liverpool together.

Upon successful completion of your pre-sessional English course and progression onto the University of Liverpool master's programme you've applied for, you can continue staying in Philharmonic Court. This means you'll feel at home from day one and won't have to change rooms.

  • The cost of your Pre-sessional English accommodation will be discounted from your master's tuition fee

When you start your University of Liverpool master's programme and have paid your first instalment, we will discount the cost of the accommodation for the 6- or 10-week pre-sessional English course from your master's tuition fee. This translates to a tuition fee discount of either £1,194.48 or £1,990.80, depending on whether you studied the 6- or 10-week programme. Full terms and conditions can be found at the bottom of this page.

  • Access to our guaranteed internship programme, Liverpool Launchpad

Starting in September 2025, we are introducing guaranteed internships for master's students via Liverpool Launchpad. Liverpool Launchpad is exclusive to University of Liverpool students and includes opportunities for paid, unpaid, online, and in-person work experience. You won't find an experience like it anywhere else!
