About University of Liverpool
The University of Liverpool was founded in 1881 as University College Liverpool, funded by local benefactors on a site donated by the city council, and opened in 1882 to 45 students. It joined the federal Victoria University in 1884 and became an independent university by royal charter in 1903. Its Victoria Building inspired the term 'red brick university'.
