It is expected that you will normally be studying with us in your Sophomore or Junior year, but students in other years will also be considered.
Applying from a partner university
If you are studying with one of our overseas partners, you should discuss your interest in studying at Liverpool Hope with your university's study abroad advisor. The advisor will help you to check that we can offer the courses you need to transfer credits back for your degree - if you are both happy, the advisor will nominate you to us.
At the application stage, we require a scan of your most recent official transcript - please send it, or ask your advisor to send it, to internationalhub@hope.ac.uk.
Applying from a non-partner university
If you are not studying with one of our overseas partners, we can accept an independent application from you if you are studying on a full degree program, subject to you meeting the minimum entry requirements and supplying a letter of consent from the International Office at your home university.
Please contact us at internationalhub@hope.ac.uk to discuss your requirements. If we feel that we can offer you the courses you need for your degree, we will give you the go ahead to apply.
If you are unsure whether your current university or college is an overseas partner of Liverpool Hope University, please check with your Study Abroad advisor or email us at internationalhub@hope.ac.uk and we can confirm for you.
