Choosing your Courses

The courses available to study are listed in our Exchange Course Catalogue

If you are studying for one semester starting in September you will need to look for courses ending in X1 or offered in semester 1. If you are here for one semester starting in January you will need to look for courses ending in X2 or offered in semester 2. If you are here for the full academic year you can choose from the full catalogue (courses running in both semesters 1 & 2).

Please note that entry to some courses may be restricted, for example when a full Criminal Records Bureau check is required before students can start the course.

If you have any questions about the courses available please email International Office who will be happy to help.

Transcripts

A transcript showing details of the courses studied and the credits gained will be sent to your home university.

Immigration and Visas

If you are a national of one of the countries in the European Economic Area (European Union countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), and have been accepted on a course, you will be admitted freely to the UK when you show your passport, without the need for a visa and without receiving any stamp in your passport. You have the right of residence in the UK for the duration of your course.

For details of visa requirements from countries outside the EEA please see UKVISAS website www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/

European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

ECTS credits are a numerical value allocated to course units to describe the student workload required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work each course requires in relation to the total quantity of work required to complete a full year of academic study. In ECTS 60 credits represent the workload for a full academic year of study. Correspondingly 30 credits are normally given for a semester.

At Liverpool Hope a student completing a full year of academic study will gain 120 Liverpool Hope credits. The ECTS equivalent of any Liverpool Hope module can normally be calculated by dividing by 2 (1 ECTS credit = 2 Liverpool Hope credits)

Information for students currently studying at a university not in the European Union

Fees

  • The cost for Semester 1 is £5800
  • The cost for Semester 2 is £6800

The package includes academic tuition, on site support, accommodation and one meal a day (week days in term time only).

Credit Transfer

The value of transferred credits will be dependent on the country you are currently studying in. You will need to check with your home institution and their Study Abroad regulations.
