Resources and facilities

As a fully registered student of the University of Liverpool you will have access to all the academic, social and welfare facilities you would expect at a world class university.

Study facilities

On-campus, the Language Lounge offers resources such as books and DVDs, and guidance from a member of the teaching staff to help you improve your English and study skills. They can recommend useful or relevant resources for your specific needs, or you can choose from a selection of graded readers, novels, grammar guides, text books and dictionaries. Our Language Lounge is a unique study facility where students at the English Language Centre can mix with language students from across the University, find a study or social space, or take part in events.

The Language Lounge also offers in-person and online Conversation Clubs for students from all backgrounds to chat in English and a range of other languages. 1-to-1 conversation exchanges are also available. A language exchange scheme is available for those who want to share their language with another student while having the opportunity to practise the language of their partner. You can find information and resources on the Language Lounge web pages.

As well as access to resources in the Language Lounge, as a student at the English Language Centre you will have full rights to the University’s libraries, with over 2.5 million study resources. Wi-Fi is available across campus and in your residences, and laptops are available for loan within the libraries. With both social and quiet study areas and over 2,000 computers situated across the campus, the University is set up to provide the very best environment for you to succeed academically.

As a student of the University of Liverpool, you can access a large number of online resources from both libraries from your computer.
