The Location
Liverpool is located on the northeast side of the River Mersey, in northwest England. Throughout its colorful history, the city has been one of the greatest seaports in the world and was the gateway for American troops and supplies during World War II. Liverpool today is home to some of the most spectacular architecture in Britain and has produced many famous painters, poets, writers, politicians, actors and --- in the Beatles --- of course, musicians. 
The University
Liverpool Hope University is a federation of two colleges, St. Katharine’s (Anglican) and Christ’s & Notre Dame (Roman Catholic). Its history dates back over 150 years. Geographically, these two colleges stand together, facing each other across a quiet avenue in the pleasant Liverpool suburb of Childwall. Currently, the university has over 7,000 students taking courses covering a wide range of subjects. The main campus is three miles from the center of the city and occupies 40 acres of landscaped grounds. Its overall size is very similar to that of Commonwealth University.
Academics
A full range of classes are available at Liverpool Hope, with proper planning with your advisor, most Commonwealth University major and general education requirements can be met. Before departing Commonwealth University, students will be required to create a provisional list of five courses desired, plus five alternate courses that can be taken in the event course/s on the first list are not available. An up-to-date listing of course modules can be accessed on the web (https://www.hope.ac.uk/international/studyabroadandexchange/incomingexchange/howtocreateyourstudyplan/ )
Once in Liverpool, final course selection will be made. Commonwealth University students generally take Introductory (Level C) and Intermediate level classes (Level I).  Keep in mind that if courses dealing with history, culture, arts, literature, languages, politics, philosophies, religions, geography, anthropology, economics and/or social patterns of England, will count toward the completion of the International Studies Minor at Commonwealth University.
Housing
Commonwealth University students pay accommodation fees at Liverpool Hope University. Students stay in one of Liverpool Hope’s 830 single study bedrooms and are provided with two meals daily during the week and lunch only on Saturday and Sunday. The use of heating and cooking appliances is not permitted in the Liverpool Hope University residences.
Air Travel – students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Please see the international office for assistance. 

Tuition - Commonwealth University students continue to pay Commonwealth University tuition and fees while attending the Liverpool Hope University. Keep in mind that all financial aid can apply toward your study in England since you are participating in a Commonwealth University sponsored program. Students do not pay any tuition or fees in England. Please note, however, that it will be necessary to pay for activities such as athletic club memberships, if you wish to utilize those services.
Non-Commonwealth University students: the Liverpool Hope exchange is only open to Commonwealth University students.
Academic Calendar
Students can enroll at Liverpool Hope for either the fall term or the full academic year. A spring term option is not available. For introductory and intermediate level courses, the fall calendar generally runs from September through December. The full academic year program begins September and runs late into May. Keep in mind that the above dates are approximate and may fluctuate from term to term.
Health Insurance
All students are required to maintain health insurance policy that will provide coverage while abroad and for the entire duration of this period. Information on international health insurance providers can be obtained from the Center for Global Engagement. You may find that your present health insurance policy includes overseas coverage. It is important, however, that your carrier provide written verification of such coverage.

So, how do I get started?
Simply come by the Center for Global Engagement to pick up an application form. Remember! Applications are due March 1 for the fall term and October 1 for the spring term.
