This page is here to offer reassurance, answer your most common questions, and help you feel confident and informed as your child begins their university journey.

Our campuses

At Liverpool Hope University, we have two beautiful main teaching campuses, Hope Park and Creative Campus, a dedicated accommodation campus called Aigburth Park, and Plas Caerdeon our outdoor education centre. Visit the our campuses webpage for further information.

Accommodation

Did you know that we guarantee on-campus accommodation to all first year students? We have a variety of halls of residence across our campuses campuses, which offer en-suite and shared facilities rooms. In each hall there are Wellbeing Assistants who will be the first point of contact for help or advice. The Wellbeing Assistants are current or recently graduated students, so have all lived in halls and experienced the highs and lows of moving away from home for the first time. To find out more information, visit our Accommodation webpages.

Finance

Your child will typically pay up to £9,535 per year in tuition fees as a UK university student, fees do not need to be paid upfront. Most students will take out a student loan and this is paid directly to universities by Student Finance England. The second loan students can apply for is the maintenance loan. This is designed to help towards living expenses while at university, such as accommodation, food, and course materials. To find out more information about tuition fees, loans, bursaries or scholarships visit our Finance webpages.

Student Support

We have a dedicated Student Life team who are on hand to offer advice and help with everything from financial support to careers advice and health concerns. We offer counselling and mental health services, and provide disability support and learning support plans. Visit our Student Support webpage to find out more.
