Students at Liverpool Hope University have the best of both worlds; living and studying on friendly, beautiful campuses while also having the advantage of being a bus ride away from one of Europe’s most vibrant and culturally rich cities.
Dating back to 1844, our students always benefit from a high-quality teaching and research environment. In 2023, we were proud to be awarded Silver in the Government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
Liverpool Hope University is spread across two beautifully landscaped sites. Hope Park is located in the leafy suburbs of Liverpool, while our Creative Campus sits a stone’s throw away from Liverpool’s creative and cultural hubs and the buzz of a busy city centre. We have invested more than £60 million in new university buildings and facilities to support the creation of an enriched learning environment.
Our students are at the heart of our university, demonstrated by our Top 3 ranking for Student Satisfaction in the North West. (Complete University Guide 2024)
Liverpool, a city like no other, boasts world-famous architecture, magnificent museums, and a rich musical heritage that has shaped popular culture.
