Liverpool Hope University is a public university with campuses in Liverpool, England. ‌The university grew out of three teacher training colleges: Saint Katharine’s College (originally Warrington Training College), Notre Dame College, and Christ’s College. Uniquely in European higher education, the university has an ecumenical tradition, with Saint Katharine’s College having been Anglican and Notre Dame and Christ’s both Catholic. The Anglican Bishop of LiverpoolDavid Sheppard and the Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool Derek Worlock (who give their names to the university’s Sheppard-Worlock Library) played a prominent role in its formation. Its name derives from Hope Street, the road which connects the city’s Anglican and Catholic cathedrals, where graduation ceremonies are alternately held.The university is both a research and teaching intensive institution. It has gained notable recognition for its teaching. In the late 2010s it achieved a Gold rating in the UK Government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), and rankings in teaching-focused league tables is comparable with lower-performing Russell Group universities.
