Welcome to Liverpool Hope University

Liverpool Hope is a vibrant academic community with high scholarly ambitions which is in the process of establishing itself as a high quality, teaching-led, research-informed University of distinction. As such the University recognises the centrality of both teaching and research within the life of an academic community and places emphasis upon the integration of the two. The University is also the only ecumenical Christian foundation in Europe which strives to provide opportunities for the well-rounded personal development of students from all faiths and beliefs, and those of none, educating the whole person in mind, body and spirit, irrespective of age, social or ethnic origins, religious belief or physical capacity.  Hope was formed by the merger of the Anglican and Roman Catholic colleges of S.Katharine’s (1844), Christ’s (1965) and Notre Dame (1856).

Situated close to the delightful Calderstones Park, the main campus of the University is located at Hope Park in Childwall, on the outskirts of Liverpool. Hope Park is a ‘Garden Campus’ where staff and students can enjoy pleasant, green and well-maintained surrounds. A second Campus dedicated to the Creative and Performing Arts, located close to the city centre, has proven exceptionally successful. A major building and expansion project has recently begun. The replacement of the current education building with a brand-new, purpose built education and science facility is a University priority. The University extends an extramural programme to Blackburn and Bury.

The University entered the 2008 RAE and achieved excellent results, with work rated in the world leading category and a high percentage of the remainder rated as internationally significant. Those joining the University hence do so at an exciting time in its development as, building upon our 165 year past, we look with confidence and ambition to the future. 

Liverpool itself is a vibrant student city offering many cultural, sporting, musical and social opportunities. Visitors to Liverpool are constantly amazed by the rich tapestry of theatres, concert halls, museums, galleries, national and international sporting events, parks, cosmopolitan shops and restaurants, which the birthplace of The Beatles has to offer. The rejuvenated city has just completed a highly successful year as the European Capital of Culture and is determined to build positively on this status.  Close to Cheshire, North Wales and the Lake District, Liverpool has excellent transport links, including an international airport and high speed train links to London and other parts of the UK.
