Liverpool John Moores University

Good facilities at LJMU, good range of social activities and a brilliant student union. The study side of things is good, great staff. Studying facility are good and most of the accommodation and university buildings are in the heart of the city centre!

I came to LJMU after transferring from a uni in Belfast after my first year. The immediately noticed a difference. The quality of the teaching was excellent, the teaching facilities were a million times better and the students union were also superb. The help I received from the employability department was amazing, they helped me craft my CV and prepare for interviews. I am now about to graduate in summer and I am sad to be leaving ljmu. Would recommend it to anyone thinking of joining.

Overall my experience at university has been slightly disappointing. My course has seemed disorganised at times and I feel that I could've got more out of it if it was better organised.

The university is made up of 2 campus’, if your situated within the city campus like me even then the variety of buildings you may be in change from course to course. If you study humanities, English, media, history it’s more than likely you’ll be in the John foster building. With his historic roots as a long standing building you become inspired from the moment you sit down. My specific course (English, media and cultural studies) is ideal for the student that picked to study something they enjoy/excel at and wish to gain more knowledge. Due to the range of areas studied it allows you to gain knowledge from all corners and open you up to a wise scale of post study work/experiences/further study opportunities.

Staff were great and uni facilities were brand new for the most part. Groups were small enough to learn properly, rather than being in big groups. I felt like I was part of something rather than just a number in a lecture hall!

I study media production, this is my first year but during it we have had our eyes open to the reality of the working world. This is very important part of being able to establish yourself not only in a university environment but also the progression into the working world.

Good university offers a lot of support and help throughout the courses and modules. Gives all students access to all things

Our campus is quiet spacious. There's a lot of facilities. I'm doing Mathematics with engineering and I think that it's a good course to study. It is very challenging and interesting.

The first week was full of getting to know eachother and all different types of stalls where you could sign up to clubs and you were able to see the different things offered there.

Allowed a lecturer with 5 years+ of complaints from students to continue working until in my final year, jeopardising grades from several assignments in his modules. Over-loading students with too many assignments per semester, not taking into consideration extra-curricular activities or jobs. Computing facilities were superb, but at times it is difficult to find an available computer in several buildings. Mental health facilities and experts are brilliant and offer the best support, however not enough funding or staff to accommodate the number of students requiring mental health assistance, which in turn has led to long waiting lists for appointments.

Been really good for first and second year, plenty of support. However due to my disability not being diagnosed had a hard time getting any help! Third year felt like support was less when I thought it would be a lot more.

It is very nice and I’m really enjoyed during the study. The facilities condition is good! I will recommend this university to my friends who want to get in uni this year.

John Moores is an amazing university that provides so many unique opportunities for its students. The student union helps you settle in and deals with any problems you might come across by offering advice and taking into consideration any ideas you may have to improve the uni.

John Moores is an amazing university. It's campuses are easy to get to and close to each other so it doesn't take too much time walking from class to class. I am apart of the Criminology and Psychology course which is unique from other universities as it give us a different view on crime, drugs and why things like this happen. Any problem you have can be dealt with by the Student Union. They offer advice and take on any suggestions you have about ways to improve the university. I've only attended John Moores for under a year and it has already changed my life with the amount of experiences I've gained through the efforts of all my tutors and lecturers.

The campus overall is good, facilities are okay however I think they could be better.. sometimes limited use of stuff in the university itself. I study forensic science and I don't think we do enough hands on work, we are hardly ever in the lab and if we are it's rushed through and that's not only my opinion that's from a few people in my class aswell. I also feel some lecturers at LJMU are very rude and don't want to help even if it's just repeating something they've previously said which I think is a disgrace considering how much we have to pay for 1 year of study. The overall organisation of my experience has been very poor and I wouldn't recommend LJMU to anyone, as I have a disability which is not seen but have been diagnosed from a kid even with all this on paper it took until nearly half way through 2nd year for them to start giving me some sort of support and get an ISLP in place, even at that when it was all sorted they can't follow through the right procedure and just pass you from pillar to post which is very stressful when trying to study a degree. I think LJMU offer very poor support for students with disabilities even though they say they do, at the disability meetings over 60% of the students feel that their grades have been affected due to the lack of support from the university and helping aids. A student took her own life at LJMU in 2017 the university completely hid this from everyone, which is a disgrace they should of acknolodged their student and paid respects to her life. I feel overall the university is around a 2/10 and I really wish I had of choose another one of my choices. The only decent thing about the university would be the caterers services as they have helped at pointing myself and some other students I know towards the right career of our choice and how to get there.

Liverpool John Moores, has many facilities available for all students. These include the library, the canteen, a student ran shop, a gym and sport facilities, such as, a sports hall, AstroTurf and tennis courts. The career services are in the library and are easy to go and see. They’re friendly and welcoming.

The Byrom Street campus is good, but could use cheaper food and a larger area to eat. The cafeteria is tiny. There is no student union building and that’s probably one of the most disappointing things about LJMU. There are very limited sports facilities and are a fair distance from the city centre campuses

The best thing about this uni is the American football team. #rise and the night life is pretty lit.

Everything in my uni is perfect and I really enjoy it! I will introduce it to my other junior who wants to come overseas for study. If I had a chance to stay in Liverpool I would not go anywhere again. My course is a really interesting course which not much student studying this course and I do not know why. But it is really an interesting and amazing course ever.

The location of the university building isn’t the best and it relatively difficult to get to, particularly for those who use public transport. Not much support available.

Amazing and supportive staff, pretty good facilities, majority of campuses are brilliant. Only in my first year but I’m loving the uni and my course a lot so far! The lecturers are the highlight!

Lips affiliated degree. Bachelors in theatre and performance technology, excellent campus and facilities all located well within the city centre. Student support and transparency of the institute absolutely second to none

Lectures offer alot of help to students if they need it, most of the staff are friendly but there's always one people don't like. There's instant boiling water taps on site so we can make hot drinks between lectures.

My main campus is brilliant. It includes multiple computer and hireable rooms, along with cafes that are great for both studying and socialising. I am a sport and exercise science student (BSc) waning I have accessed some of the many high-tech laboratories. The student union at LJMU is very organised and useful. Likewise the career services are handy to those that use them. The organisation throughout my course has been impressive and has definitely aided my studying. As I am a first year student I believe that organisation is critical to my learning and I am thankful that my university, both during the course and during freshers week, had outstanding organisation.
