Why
Liverpool
Liverpool is the place to be right now – the city is
thriving and there is a real buzz about the place. This
is perhaps the most exciting time in the history of this
unique city – Liverpool has been chosen as European
Capital of Culture 2008, major regeneration projects and
business investment have meant that the economy is
thriving and Government figures show we have the fastest
growing jobs rate of any English city.
A place for students … and graduates
Liverpool aims to be the most business-friendly city in
Europe by 2006 and has set up the Liverpool Business
Centre – a one-stop shop providing advice and support
for companies.
This focus on business and regeneration seems to be
attracting more students than ever to Liverpool. Clearly
the approach is working – we’re increasingly finding
that our students are staying on in the city after
graduation … clearly, once you come to Liverpool, you’ll
never want to leave.
Spoilt for choice
You’ll never be without something to do in Liverpool –
the city is packed with museums, art galleries,
theatres, pubs, clubs, restaurants, cinemas, music
venues, leisure outlets and, of course, is home to the
premiership soccer teams Liverpool FC and Everton FC and
the world’s most famous horse race, the Aintree Grand
National. For more information on what to do in
Liverpool, browse through the links in this section.
Among the very many visitor attractions in the city are
the waterfront area, Mathew Street, home to the Cavern
Club which still attracts Beatles fans from all over the
world, the largest Chinese Arch in Europe which stands
14 meters over the entrance to Chinatown, our two
beautiful cathedrals, the Williamson tunnels which have
a fascinating history and, of course, no trip to
Liverpool would be complete without taking a trip on the
Ferry Across the Mersey.
Shopaholic's paradise
The Duke of Westminster’s company, Grosvenor, is working
in partnership with Liverpool city council on a scheme
to increase the amount of retail and leisure space in
the centre of Liverpool by two million square feet.
Imagine all that extra space for your favorite shops …
Liverpool is set to become a retail heaven though a
scheme that is appropriately named ‘The Paradise
Project.

Welcome to Liverpool, home of Liverpool John
Moores University At The Heart Of A Great
City
Liverpool John Moores University is a
thriving, vibrant university located at the
heart of one of the most exciting cities in
the UK. Our three large campuses ensure that

LJMU is proud to be a modern university,
with learning and the advancement of our
students at the heart of all our activity.
Our ethos is dream, plan, achieve and we aim
to nurture the dreams of every single
student. Our approach is holistic in nature
- we provide stimulating and challenging
programmes of study that are informed by
scholarship and research, and that engender
a spirit of academic enquiry; and we also
provide an environment conducive to the
personal development of our students - for
example, through our
Foundation for Citizenship we
encourage students to become thoughtful,
ethical people.
We understand the importance of real-world
experience and help students to gain
practical experience through work
placements. We also are aware that
university isn't all about working and
studying so we encourage students to
socialize with their peers in a variety of
ways - for example, in conjunction with
Liverpool Students' Union we provide an wide
range of sporting and recreational
opportunities for our students and staff
