Welcome from Associate Professor Gary Anderson

As Head of School of Creative and Performing Arts, I am delighted to welcome you to Liverpool Hope University.

The Creative Campus is home to our Creative and Performing Arts subjects and is just a short walk away from the heart of Liverpool City Centre – a city with a long and proud world-class creative tradition.

At our award-winning Creative Campus you can study a wide range of undergraduate subjects within the field of Creative and Performing Arts including: Acting, Art History, Arts & Wellbeing, Contemporary Craft, Contemporary Fashion Design, Stage Design and Scenography, Creative Industries Business Management, Dance, Digital Creativity, Drama, Drama & Theatre Studies, Film TV, Radio and Media Production, Film & Visual Culture, Fine Art, Game Art & Design, Graphic Design, Musical TheatreMusic and Music Production.

You will have access to the latest state-of-the-art technology and performance spaces and be taught by highly committed academics, all of whom are experts in their fields, engaged in the international worlds of creative practice and scholarly research.

The creative industry is the fastest-growing sector in the UK Economy according to official Government data. Creative content is one of the largest exports in the UK Economy with an estimated 2,040,000 jobs - 75 per cent of them outside London. The UK's creative industries are developing new jobs faster than any other sector significantly contributing to record employment figures in the UK economy as a whole. In 2018 creative industries grew jobs by 1.6 per cent. It is therefore one of my top priorities to ensure that your individual student experience is reflective of these trends and that our students flourish in careers in the Arts and Cultural Leadership following graduation.

If you decide to continue your studies to Masters Level, our unique MA Contemporary Performance offers an interdisciplinary and multicultural perspective in contemporary performance practice and research. We also offer a further Masters in Creative Music Practice (MA) and MA in Dance Professional Practice.

Your overall learning experience will be enriched by our beautiful surroundings where you can take advantage of top quality learning spaces including our two stunning Grade II Listed buildings and attractive outdoor performance areas in our multi award-winning Angel Field Renaissance Gardens.

The Creative Campus is a mix of historic and new with a total of £5.2 million invested in the Campus in recent years, seeing expansion with the purchase of new buildings and major refurbishments to existing learning spaces which have been complemented by a substantial collection of new specialist equipment to support practice-based teaching and research. For example, the development of a £2.39 million Arts Centre following the purchase of a newly acquired building which was renovated and converted to high quality standards boasting dedicated modern studios, exhibition spaces and student learning zones.

Find yourself at Hope. Join us on your journey. Our real passion is to make the world a better place. The arts can change the world and the people in it. If you've experienced the power of the arts in your own lifetime, come and find out how to develop the work ethos, skills and vision necessary to make you an artist for the future. 

I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful campus in the heart of Liverpool!
