The cost of studying at Liverpool Hope University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £13,000 annually, to study in Liverpool Hope University.

Graduates will be prepared for wide ranging careers in MSK practice such as Primary Care, assessment and rehabilitation roles in the NHS or Private organisations, advanced clinical and rehabilitation roles or they may decide to further develop into careers in healthcare management, health promotion, research or education settings.
