School of Humanities

We offer a supportive and engaging environment led by enthusiastic teaching staff who use their professional experience and research expertise to inform student learning. We take pride in our dynamic courses, our friendly approach to supporting our students, and our focus on social justice issues.

The School of Humanities is home to world-leading research, and students are part of an exciting, research-active community. Our selection of undergraduate and postgraduate courses seeks to equip students with the necessary skills and understanding to embrace an ever-changing world. Our students can take advantage of some fantastic learning opportunities, such as guest speakers, field trips, festivals and writing retreats.

Courses offered by the School of Humanities benefit from and are inspired by being based in the wonderful city of Liverpool, a city steeped in culture, literature, history and geographical significance. 
Teaching takes place at Hope Park campus, which has been specifically designed to provide the best learning environment for our students, from dedicated study and social spaces to an extensive catalogue of specialist texts and materials housed in our library.

With several subject areas, our work encompasses creative writing, histories, philosophies, theology and religious studies, media, communications and digital technologies, special collections and global issues that concern us all.

Subject areas include:

• Creative Writing
• English Language
• English Literature
• History

• Journalism (subject to validation)
• Media and Communication
• Politics
• Theology, Philosophy and Religious Studies

I look forward to personally welcoming you to the School of Humanities in the near future.
