Students will explore performance in the heart of the city of Liverpool. They will learn about the origins of drama and develop their skills in making new work.

Liverpool Hope University’s creative community is internationally renowned and world-leading in drama research and practice. Students will develop their acting skills, their ability to facilitate drama sessions, as well as improving their critical writing skills. The university makes use of the many theatre venues in Liverpool, from the traditional Everyman/Playhouse to the experimental Tate Liverpool as well as their own Capstone Theatre, several well-equipped studio theatre spaces dedicated for student use, and their very own Hope Theatre Company – of which students could play a part.

Throughout students' time at Liverpool Hope University, they will be asked to explore drama in relation to their own skills and interests, helping them to understand the critical place of drama in the 21st-century. The university's motto is to ‘educate in the round’, meaning students will develop transferrable social skills to take to future employers and make a difference in the workplace.

Marketing is one of the most challenging, fast-moving and exciting disciplines in the world of business. Liverpool Hope University's Marketing degree has a theoretical focus that is combined with practical examples of how companies apply the theory on a day-to-day basis, meaning that what students learn is not only academically sound but also rooted in the realities of today’s dynamic marketplace.

During the degree, students will be provided with the key skills and knowledge that will enable them to understand the marketing context, marketing research and the discipline’s central role to business success, while allowing them to reflect on the moral and ethical implications of marketing behavior. The ever advancing fields of Social Media and Digital Marketing run through the Marketing curriculum as central themes and allow them to reflect on the many challenges and opportunities that these technological and cultural changes provide. Liverpool Hope University believes students' ability to gain meaningful employment after they graduate is really important, so there is a strong focus on helping them to develop their employability skills.
