WELCOME
At Liverpool Hope we pride ourself on knowing our students, allowing them
to learn from top researchers in dynamic, smaller sized classes across our
two teaching campuses; Hope Park and the Creative Campus.

Set in the green surroundings of Childwall, Hope Park is a short bus ride from
the city centre giving students the best of both worlds; a friendly campus to
live and learn, and the vibrant city to socialise, shop and eat.
Our largest campus, Hope Park is an education village with both en-suite and
shared accommodation, a state-of-the-art gym and a sports complex filled
with various facilities. It houses a friendly student bar; ‘Our Place’ hosts live
music, comedy nights and has a gaming zone.
Just a 10-minute walk from the heart of Liverpool city centre, The Creative
Campus is a hub of creativity and inspiration. The Grade II-listed Capstone
Theatre and the Cornerstone Building are just some of the spaces that are
dedicated to the creative arts. The campus is an inspiring place to live and
study.
Aigburth Park is our residential campus, around three miles from Hope Park
and the city centre. Surrounded by beautiful parks, a wealth of trendy bars,
shops and local transport links to and from the heart of the city, it remains a
popular home for students.
