Edge Hill University

Edge Hill University is a public university at Ormskirk in Lancashire, teaching education, health and social care, computing, business, sport and the humanities on a large single campus. One fact should be settled before anything else: its medical school admits home students only, so medicine is not a route open to a Kazakh applicant here. Edge Hill is one of several UK medical schools in that position, and no set of grades changes it. An applicant intending medicine should look elsewhere rather than apply and be refused on nationality. Edge Hill's single campus is among the larger self-contained sites in England, with accommodation, teaching and sports facilities together — a practical advantage for a student arriving alone from abroad. Lancashire living costs are among the lowest in England, and Liverpool and Manchester are both within reach by rail for their airports and labour markets. Ormskirk itself is a small market town where the part-time work the Student visa permits is correspondingly thin.
