 About Us

At Edge Hill University we believe in the life changing opportunities knowledge can create. Since 1885, we’ve been creating access to knowledge for those who may not have had the opportunity to before. 

The Faculty of Education has recently been awarded ‘Outstanding’ across all its Initial Teacher Education (ITE) provision by Ofsted and is the only Higher Education Institution in England (as of February 2024) under the current regulatory framework to receive a rating of Outstanding for Overall Effectiveness across all three ITE age phases.

Today, the effect we have has a far-reaching impact, not just for those who come to study here but for those who work, invest in, and live in our local communities too. So, if you’ve ever wondered if one person can make a difference, simply speak to our alumni, students, and award-winning staff.

Because for us education isn’t about how much you take in. It’s about what you take out into the world. 

Inspiring minds and changing futures since 1885, Edge Hill University is “A great success story… an institution that improves and impresses year after year” – Times Higher Education.
