Welcome home

Liverpool: a great place to live, a great place to study.

At Liverpool John Moores University we might search into the furthest reaches of space and question the nature of the sub-atomic soup of particles that surrounds us – but when it comes to matters closer to us we’re sure of one thing: Liverpool is where YOU want to be.

Why Liverpool?

We make our home in what The Times of London described as ‘the coolest place to live in the UK’ and we can’t wait to welcome you. Sure, you will enjoy a student experience at LJMU that encompasses the academic excellence offered by high-quality teaching, ground-breaking research and extensive links with employers and business leaders, but we are also confident you will benefit from the best this multicultural city has to offer.

Safe, friendly and affordable, Liverpool takes its place as one of the best places to study in Europe. Home to the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, two of the countries most famous football teams and named by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the top ten student cities, Liverpool really is the place to be.
