Sport Liverpool

Whether you are already competing at a serious level, or just for fun; whether you want to try something completely new or just keep fit, at Liverpool there is something for everyone. Our Sports and Fitness Centre at the heart of campus has a 25m swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness centres, bouldering wall, two sports halls, dance and spinning studios and squash courts. Few university sports grounds can match the number of quality outdoor sports facilities we have at our Wyncote site.

Music on Campus

Liverpool is a city full of music and our Campus is bursting with the musical activities of students of all instrumental abilities. Anyone can enjoy making music at the University of Liverpool. For classically minded musicians we have the University Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra, between the two they generate at least six concerts per term. The Chamber Orchestra undertakes an annual tour of Normandy and takes paying gigs around the country. Liverpool University Music Society (LUMS) develops ensemble musicianship in all standards of musicians; Band Society allows students to form bands and play at the best venues in the city. Then there’s the Folk Society, the Big Band for jazz and swing enthusiasts, the Flute Choir, the Brass Band, the University Singers and the Chamber Choir… and if none of these take your fancy you can always start your own!
