Our campus and facilities
We designed our campus for collaboration. Our facilities bring together advanced laboratories, immersive learning technologies and dedicated innovation spaces.
A place for world-leading research and translational impact.
Since 1898, we have delivered groundbreaking research and outstanding teaching in tropical medicine. Today, our estate brings historic buildings together with modern facilities to create an inspiring, flexible environment for advanced postgraduate study and research.
Everything is close by, with teaching spaces, specialist laboratories and support services within walking distance. And because we’re based in Liverpool, you can make the most of a vibrant student city with great transport links, culture, and a wide choice of accommodation.
