Liverpool Hope University was our first partner and shares many features of our ethos. One of the university's major contributions to widening participation has been the establishment of the Network of Hope, which is a partnership with sixth form colleges whose missions are compatible with that of Liverpool Hope. The aim of the Network of Hope is to offer higher education courses to communities that would otherwise not have such a provision. Wherever you choose to study, the courses offered by Hope have the same characteristics: they focus on academic excellence and strongly support the pastoral needs and aspirations of the students.
Holy Cross began its association with Edge Hill in 2008. Since then the partnership has grown from strength to strength. We share a strong commitment to widening participation and have a common interest in a wide range of community and international collaborations. The University is thriving and growing and is recognised regionally and nationally as a vibrant learning community and a centre of excellence in teaching and learning.
