LJMU celebrates triple shortlisting for the Times Higher Education Awards 2025
The university has been shortlisted in three categories for this year’s Times Higher Education (THE) Awards.
Widely known as the ‘Oscars of higher education’ the awards recognise excellence across the UK and Irish sectors.
This year THE received more than 500 entries.
LJMU has been shortlisted in the respective categories for the following projects:
-
Business School of the Year: Liverpool Business School
-
Outstanding Contribution to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: LJMU’s Diversity and Inclusion Funded Projects
-
Widening Participation or Outreach Initiative of the Year: Gypsy Traveller Roma Showman Boater (GTRSB) Pledge and community outreach.
We’re delighted to be one of the 69 institutions this year that have been shortlisted for the THE Awards, in not one but three categories.
It’s an exceptional achievement and recognises our expertise and dedication to working in partnership with people and organisations to make a difference.
Professor Keith George, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Research and Knowledge Exchange
THE Editor, Chris Havergal said:
“At a time of unprecedented challenge for higher education, the THE Awards enter their third decade as a steady and staunch reminder of the exceptional work that continues to take place across the UK and Ireland every day, on campuses and beyond.
The fact that we received well over 500 entries for this year’s awards is a sure sign that the sector’s commitment to transforming lives for the better is undimmed. We offer our sincere congratulations to all those institutions and individuals shortlisted – it really is an achievement to have reached this stage in a very competitive year.
At THE, we have long recognised that the sector draws so much strength from its diversity and that there is no single model of success. That’s why we are delighted to see such a wide range of providers making the shortlists, including for the new category of Specialist Institution of the Year, which honours some of our truly unsung heroes.
We are also hugely excited to be taking this year’s awards ceremony to Scotland for the first time. We look forward to you joining us in Edinburgh on 13 November for a special celebration of innovation and excellence in higher education, which in these times go unrecognised or underappreciated far too often.”
