In 1823 the first of several institutions that became Liverpool John Moores University was founded, revolutionising education in Liverpool. Those early pioneers have grown into one of the most dynamic universities in the UK, a vibrant community of over 25,000 students from over 100 countries, 2,500 staff and 250 degree courses. With a significant presence in the Liverpool landscape, the University has a deep appreciation of its responsibilities. Students are given full academic and pastoral support throughout their university experience, and the individual contributions of all our staff to the University’s success are highly-valued. We are a university committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.

With a population of around 11,000 staff and students, we offer over 200 qualifications ranging from HND to PhD, in subjects as diverse as maritime education and training, fashion and design, media and television, music, health, sport and leisure, business, IT and technology. We achieved triple gold in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) – for student experience, for student outcomes, and overall.
