Job Opportunities
Decades ago, Liverpool wasn’t exactly famous for its job
opportunities. However, due to huge changes in the city, there are far more
career prospects available than ever before. Liverpool’s thriving economy is
set to continue growing, and the council’s Liverpool
Local Plan sets out a strategy which includes the creation of 38,000
new jobs. From the new Knowledge Quarter which will offer specialist scientific
and research roles, to the tech and digital hub at the Baltic Triangle, to the
thriving Albert Dock with its variety of shops and restaurants, Liverpool is

Thriving Culture
Liverpool is world famous for its musical legacy and unique
culture. This former trading city has been a melting pot of different cultures,
creating a distinctive city that welcomes everyone. Liverpool’s nightlife is
famous, with a range of unique bars, pubs and clubs that appeal to everyone,
and this is another reason why so many young people decide to live in the city
after they graduate. Liverpool is also home to a number of special events and
celebrations, like the Liverpool Giants, the Liverpool Biennial and Liverpool
International Music Festival. With more museums and art galleries than any city
outside of London, Liverpool has plenty to do.

Cost of Living
Liverpool is also an incredibly affordable city, which makes
it far more attractive to recent graduates in their first job, with limited
disposable income. Compared to cities in the south of the UK, Liverpool is an
incredibly cost-effective choice. When comparing Liverpool
to London, you will find that food is 24% cheaper, housing is 47%
cheaper, and transportation is 44% cheaper. These lower costs of living that students
have grown accustomed to while they have been studying in the city, mean that
moving to somewhere that is so much more expensive isn’t a popular option.
