Liverpool Hope University, not to be confused with John Moores or Liverpool, is an higher education facility that has gained significant recognition for its teaching excellence. The university takes its name from Hope Street, the road which connects Liverpool City's two cathedrals, and where graduation ceremonies are alternately held each year. The university prides itself on its personal approach to learning, stating that students are 'a name not a number'. The university's compact nature lends itself well to students feeling seen, heard and nurtured throughout their stay.
