Liverpool Hope University: English test requirements
Liverpool Hope publishes one set of English scores for undergraduate study and one for postgraduate study on a single page, with a short list of courses that ask for more because of professional body rules. Tests must be taken within two years of the start date, and Duolingo does not appear on the page.
Checked on 2 Nov 2026 against the university's own pages. Universities change their requirements, and some courses ask for more. Always confirm on the university's page before you book a test or apply.
