How to Find Courses on the Edge Hill University Website

Updated

To find courses on the Edge Hill University website (edgehill.ac.uk), use the course search linked from the homepage — the site's own search entry point reports 1,257 results across its course listings. That single search covers the university's undergraduate, postgraduate and research options, so it is the fastest way to see the full range before narrowing down. The homepage also links to an Open Day booking page, which is useful once you have a shortlist.

Step by step

  1. Open the homepage at edgehill.ac.uk. The page presents two main entry points side by side: booking an Open Day and searching courses.
  2. Select "View all our courses" (the course search link). This takes you to the full course listing rather than a single faculty page.
  3. Read the results count as a scope check. The listing reports 1,257 results, confirming that undergraduate, postgraduate and research courses appear together rather than in separate silos.
  4. Narrow by level and subject. Use the filters on the listing to separate undergraduate from postgraduate and research study, then filter by subject area.
  5. Open individual course pages to compare study choices. Each course page is where you check the details that matter for your decision — entry requirements, mode and length of study, and module content.
  6. Cross-check against news and open days. The homepage news feed shows current activity (for example, Politics students contributing to parliamentary legislation, or the archive team's award win), which helps you judge whether a department is active in your field. Then book the Open Day to see the Ormskirk campus in person.

News feed Current research, student and staff activity Judging departmental strengths

Common sticking points

  • Treating the results count as a course count. The 1,257 figure is the listing's reported total; it may include variants of the same course, so confirm on the course page rather than assuming each result is a distinct programme.
  • Searching only one level. Because undergraduate, postgraduate and research options sit in the same search, filter by level early or you will scroll through courses that do not apply to you.
  • Skipping the Open Day. The site describes the Open Day as the best way to experience what Edge Hill is really like, and flags it as the last one of the year — book early if you want a campus visit before deciding.
  • Judging a department from the homepage alone. The news items are a sample, not a complete picture; use them as prompts to look deeper at the relevant subject area.

When this approach fits

This route suits prospective students who already know roughly what they want to study and need to compare options efficiently. If you are undecided between subjects, start with the full listing and use the subject filters to browse broadly before opening individual course pages. If you have already shortlisted courses, go straight to those pages and then to the Open Day booking link.
