Liverpool Hope University

Although Liverpool Hope is one of the UK's newest universities, our history stretches back over a century and a half, when the Church of England Diocese of Chester and the Roman Catholic Sisters of Notre Dame established separate teacher education Colleges for women. These Colleges were based in Warrington and Liverpool City Centre.

In 1980 the Colleges joined in an ecumenical federation under the title of Liverpool Institute of Higher Education (LIHE). In 1995, a new Instrument and Articles of Government established a single, unified College, and a new name - Liverpool Hope - which better reflected our role and duty.
