The University is number one in the Uni Compare UK rankings for 2025, retaining top spot after another year of glowing reviews from students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vice-Chancellor Dr John Cater said: “Being recognised as the top university for student accommodation in the Uni Compare poll for a second year is fantastic news and a testament to the dedication and hard work of our staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt highlights the exceptional quality of our housing and the supportive environment we strive to create for our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This achievement is particularly meaningful as it is based on the honest feedback and reviews from our students themselves. Accommodation is a crucial factor in which university students choose and greatly influences their overall experience, so we are thrilled to be leading the rankings in this important area.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Edge Hill was ranked sixth in the Top 100 UK Universities and ninth for the quality of its courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month<\/a> the University was announced as a finalist in three categories in the Global Student Living Awards: Best Value for Money, Best University Housing and Best Student Community, in addition to Best Moving in Experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improvements to the student experience are ongoing, including the largest-ever investment in student accommodation to add another 232 en-suite rooms, opening in 2024, alongside a new Students\u2019 Union and Life Sciences building as part of a \u00a353m campus development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edge Hill offers a range of accommodation and all first-year students are guaranteed a place on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
