SDG 4 - Quality education

Education at all stages of life opens up opportunities, making it possible for everyone to contribute to society. Education benefits every human being and lifelong learning opportunities should be available to all in an inclusive and equitable way.


LJMU has a dual focus on quality on education through curriculum delivered in Liverpool and via our external engagement activities. We have committed to feature sustainable development as part of our taught courses, and we’re making efforts to decolonise the curriculum. We’re committed to our local community, delivering training for secondary school students in climate, chemistry and astrology.
