Study Abroad: 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 globalcentre@hope.ac.uk.
Study Abroad: 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 programme, 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 globalcentre@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 globalcentre@hope.ac.uk and we can confirm for you.
Incoming Exchange: you can only apply from a partner University
Liverpool Hope currently has partnership agreements with Universities in Europe, USA, Canada, Mexico and Hong Kong.
If you are currently studying with one of our partner universities you should discuss your interest in studying at Liverpool Hope with your university's outgoing Exchange/Study Overseas 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 of results - please send it, or ask your advisor to send it, to globalcentre@hope.ac.uk.
Please note that places on the Exchange Programme are very limited and nominations must be approved before you make your application. We will contact you if you are accepted and ask you to proceed with the application stage.
If you are unsure if your university is one of our Exchange partners, please ask your international office, or contact us at globalcentre@hope.ac.uk and we will confirm.

If you cancel after you have been nominated but before receiving the offer letter, you can cancel without paying any fees.
If you cancel after receiving the offer letter, charges may apply, depending on the reason for the cancellation.
If you cancel after accepting the accommodation contract, the £200 room deposit is not refundable.
