At Liverpool Hope, we offer tailored outreach offerings for schools residing in Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Gibraltar.
Working with schools across these regions and beyond, we aim to develop school-university partnerships to support the recruitment and attainment of learners at Liverpool Hope by supporting students on their journey to university.
We also send monthly emails to teachers with information regarding Hope, the city, finance and the courses we offer, to share with their students. If you would like to join this list please click here. If you would like to book any events, please get in touch with your Student Recruitment contact at the University or email outreach@hope.ac.uk.
Our Outreach offerings can be offered practically or virtually and include the following:

Liverpool Hope attend various outreach events in Northern Ireland throughout the year.

Liverpool Hope University also host and attend many of our own events in the region throughout the year, please see the details below.
Northern Ireland Applicant Day - Belfast City Centre - 24th February 2024
Every year, we dedicate a day to coming over to Northern Ireland, and host an event that is specific to our offer holders in the region. Taking place on Saturday 24th February 2024, we will hold this day at the Radisson Blu Hotel, BT7 2JB.
This is a good opportunity for our Northern Irish applicants to attend with their close friends/family, that is somewhere closer to home. With an impressive 13% of our overall student body stemming from Northern Ireland, we know how important it is to be presented with the right information in order to transition with ease to a different city.
'Get into Teaching' Events
With an impressive intake of students coming from Northern Ireland each year to study their teacher training degree with us, we host several events throughout the year including information mornings and QTS interviews.
If you are interested in studying one of our teacher training degrees, please come along to our next event which will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, BT7 2JB on Saturday 18th November 10am - 2pm, book your place here.
Further information on these events can be found on the School of Education webpages.
We open this day for advisors and career teachers in schools and colleges within Northern Ireland. Various workshops and talks are offered to help support students in making the right choices for their progression to higher education. In 2024 (date TBC) we are planning to bring teachers from this region across to our university campus. If this sounds of interest to you, please contact Dylan Dunbar on dunbard@hope.ac.uk.
Throughout the year, we also attend the annual NISCA Spring & Autumn Conferences and we are proud exhibitors of the ER&M Roadshow.
