 Liverpool Hope University was created in 2005 from Liverpool Hope University College, though different parts of the institution date back to the 1840s. The Unis is based across to main sites - Hope Park, Childwall and The Cornerstone, in the city centre.
FacilitiesLibrariesThe main library is the The Sheppard-Worlock Library located at Hope Park. It's open until 9pm most nights of the week, though shuts at 5pm on Fridays and at the weekend. The library also has a lot of quiet study spaces and loads of computers for you to use - including both colour and black and white printers. Some of the PCs are bookable in advance for up to 2 hours a day. A great feature for PGCE and other students studying for QTS is that the QTS test centre is located within the library (as well as loads of resources you might want to use) So unlike some PGCE students you won't have to travel to some unfamiliar building across the the other side of the city that you've never been to before to sit these tests.
