A look back in time... 📸✨ Last week, we cele A look back in time... 📸✨ Last week, we celebrated the official unveiling of the Redbrick Building after three years behind scaffolding, now we’re diving into the archives to reflect on its rich history. Built in 1892 by Liverpool-born architect Alfred Waterhouse (who also designed London’s Natural History Museum), the building was purpose-built for University College Liverpool students. Its distinctive red brick and terracotta design didn’t just define our campus — it helped inspire the term ‘redbrick university’. Over a century later, it’s still at the heart of university life. Restored in 2008 as part of Liverpool’s European Capital of Culture celebrations, it now welcomes over 62,000 visitors a year with an exciting mix of exhibitions and events. And of course, it’s also a well-loved backdrop for graduation photos — just in time for next week’s celebrations! 🎓 Got a special Redbrick memory from your time with us? We’d love to hear it — share in the comments below 💙👇 #VGMRedbrickReborn

Can hope help your heart? ♥️ New research fro Can hope help your heart? ♥️ New research from the University of Liverpool says yes - with our researchers finding a powerful connection between hope and heart health. A review of 12 studies involving over 5,500 heart patients found that feeling hopeless can raise your risk of a heart attack or even death, while having hope is linked to better recovery, fewer symptoms, and stronger mental health. Researchers are now exploring whether emotional support in hospital — like therapy or chaplaincy — could help patients stay hopeful and improve their long-term health.
