by Educate Magazine May 16, 2017 · Education News
Liverpool Hope University is celebrating after achieving one of the highest rises in the country in The Guardian Good University Guide 2018.
Climbing 23 places, Liverpool Hope is jointly placed with Edge Hill University at number 56, overtaking the University of Liverpool in 67th place.
Subject areas at Liverpool Hope including Business, Biosciences and Social Policy and Administration have all risen significantly, with Social Policy and Administration entering the top ten nationally.
Graduate prospects has also been a factor in the climb. 96.2% of 2015 Liverpool Hope University graduates were in employment or further study 6 months after graduation.
The Guardian Good University Guide ranks universities according to: spending per student; the student/staff ratio; graduate career prospects and how satisfied final-year students are with their courses, based on results from the annual National Student Survey (NSS).

Professor Gerald Pillay, Vice Chancellor and Rector of Liverpool Hope University said: “This is excellent news for Liverpool Hope and for the city. Staff across the University work extremely hard to ensure that our students enjoy high quality teaching and learning experiences. Research-informed teaching and small group tutorials means that our students are personally engaged and not lost in a crowd. It is an exciting time to be part of Liverpool Hope.”
“League tables are just half of the story. That is why we encourage people to speak to our students and staff, and visit our two beautiful campuses to get the full picture of what it is like to live and study with us.”
Liverpool Hope now offers one of the widest ranges of combined degrees in the UK.
It specialises in small group teaching across its two campuses, Hope Park in Childwall and the Creative Campus on Shaw Street close to Liverpool City Centre. It is in the top 10 in the UK for the percentage of staff with doctorates.
Less than a month ago, the 2018 Complete University Guide announced that Liverpool Hope had soared 25 places in its table, making it the second-highest rising university in the U.K and the highest rising university in the North West.
