Liverpool, UK
A small, supportive Liverpool university with historic strength in education and theology.
Liverpool Hope is a genuinely small university — around 4,000-5,000 students — spread across Hope Park and a city-centre Creative Campus, offering a close-knit, pastoral community within one of the UK's biggest student cities. It has particular strength in education and teacher training, theology and philosophy reflecting its historic foundation, arts, music and social sciences, taught in small, accessible classes rather than large lecture halls. International fees are notably affordable at £15,225 for 2026/27, and eligible students can access the Hope Inspiring Futures Scholarship (typically £2,000 in Year 1), which meaningfully reduces net cost. It suits students who want personal attention and Liverpool city life without the scale of the city's larger universities.

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or Liverpool Hope's financial aid office.
Beyond government-level awards, most UK universities offer their own merit-based international scholarships — commonly a partial tuition reduction for strong A-Level/IB/IGCSE results, sometimes auto-considered from your application and sometimes requiring a short separate form.
Chevening and Commonwealth are postgraduate-only. For undergraduate applicants, the university-specific merit scholarships are usually the more relevant route.
