About
PartialLiverpool doesn't publish named fee bands -- international tuition is set per individual course. £27,000/year (2026 entry, full-time) is from the English Literature BA (Hons) course page and independently corroborated at the same figure on the History BA (Hons) 2026-entry page; this represents a standard Arts/Humanities course rather than a confirmed 'lowest band', since Liverpool has no published band structure -- STEM/lab/clinical courses run higher. Student size left blank (no dated total-enrollment figure found). QS rank 147 (2026 edition) is from Liverpool's own official news article. THE rank 143rd (2026) is confirmed from timeshighereducation.com. Guardian rank 21st (2026) is via other outlets' reporting only -- theguardian.com itself couldn't be opened directly; sourced from Liverpool's own news coverage of the result. Russell Group status confirmed on Liverpool's own official About page. No official acceptance rate published.

Economics
AAB (A-level), including Mathematics at grade A; IB 34 points, including 6 at Higher Level Mathematics
Liverpool's own United States country page publishes a university-wide American-qualifications route: a high school diploma with a 3.0 GPA plus either 3 AP exams (4,4,4 to 5,5,5), or 2 AP exams (4 or 5) alongside another external qualification such as an IB Higher Level certificate, or 2 AP exams alongside an Honors or college-level class at B+ or above. Where a course names an A-level subject requirement, the matching AP subject is expected too. No SAT or ACT figure is published.
Official source ↗Nursing BN (Hons)
Medicine & Health Sciences
BBC including a science subject (e.g. Biology or a social science)
Liverpool's own Nursing (BN, Adult field) course page states a typical offer of BBC including a science subject, and describes NHS-values screening through the personal statement and at interview -- but names no SAT, ACT, or AP figure for US applicants. Unlike some other UK universities' nursing courses, Liverpool's own page publishes a real overseas tuition figure (£32,000/year for 2026 entry) and a separate, later application deadline specifically for international applicants, with no statement restricting the course to home-fee-status students -- so this course appears genuinely open to international applicants. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
