Edge Hill University was founded in 1885 as Edge Hill College. It was the first teacher training college in England for women that was not connected to any religion. At first, it was located in the Edge Hill area of Liverpool, but it later moved to its current main campus in Ormskirk.

Edge Hill University has developed a lot over the years. In 1959, it began to admit male students and added more courses outside of teacher training. In 1989, it became an independent higher education institution, and in 2006, it officially became a full university with the name Edge Hill University. Because of its long history, the university is well respected, especially for its teacher training programmes.

Today, Edge Hill University is known for offering high-quality teaching and preparing students for their future careers. The university has three main academic areas: the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Medicine, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
