Lush green campuses, picturesque grounds, stunning listed buildings – if you’re visiting Hope University for a graduation or open day, you’re in for a treat. With a student population of 7,000 it’s much smaller than Liverpool University, but what Hope lacks in size it makes up for in atmosphere and community feel. Plus, with the city centre just three miles away from its Creative Campus, you won’t be far from all the culture and nightlife Liverpool is famous for.
Founded over 170 years ago, Hope University is rich in history – something that you can’t fail to notice in its architecture. It’s also the only ecumenical university in Liverpool, which means its run on Christian principles, yet embraces those of all faiths, or people with no faith at all. Hope’s first college opened in 1844 and, since then, it’s built up a strong reputation in science, the arts, humanities, social science and education. It was among the first to provide higher education to women and was awarded full university status by the Privy Council in 2005. Past students include the playwright Willy Russell and Lord Michael Storey, a member of the House of Lords and former leader of Liverpool City Council. Whilst you're here, why not visit Liverpool University?
