Does the whole course in cities like Manchester and Liverpool come under the UK?

Yes, you can study in Manchester or Liverpool with complete confidence that your course counts as a UK qualification. Both cities sit entirely within England, which is itself one of the four constituent nations that make up the United Kingdom.
Where Manchester and Liverpool Sit Within the UK
| City | Country and Region |
|---|---|
| Manchester | England, North West England, within the United Kingdom |

Why This Distinction Sometimes Causes Confusion
- The UK is made up of four nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, all under one national government and visa system.
- Your student visa, Graduate Route eligibility, and qualification recognition apply the same way regardless of which UK nation or city you study in.
- Universities across all four nations are recognized UK institutions for visa and immigration purposes.
My Advice
Treat any UK city, including Manchester and Liverpool, the same way in your research and paperwork, since your visa rules, Graduate Route eligibility, and degree recognition do not change based on which of the four UK nations you choose to study in.
