Answer 2

Both Schools offer excellent postgraduate education. The London school is larger, the fees more expensive and living costs in London are also very expensive. The Liverpool school is smaller, and usually has a lot of international students enrolled. Fees and living costs are reduced in Liverpool.

London and Liverpool do have some different masters courses so it really depends on exactly what you want to study, London are famous for their Epidemiology and Eye Health courses. I know Liverpool runs 2 DTM&H courses per year which are cheaper than London and they also have a good reputation for their clinical, Biology and International Public Health courses. Liverpool also offer some Humanitarian courses which some of my friends have attended and they did overseas projects which gave them fantastic experience.

I'd advise you to contact both schools and enquire about the specific courses.
