Learn more about studying with LOOM
LOOM offers excellent provision for its postgraduate students.
Not only does LOOM offer its postgraduate students designated research facilities, but can also offer support from supervisors with industrial experience. Currently, LOOM is accepting applicants who wish to carry out research into the design and operation of large engineering systems, such as ships, offshore installations, port terminals and logistic chain systems, as well as research on operational research, including simulation, optimisation and evolutionary computation.
To apply, please contact the FET Research and Enterprise Team FETPGRAdmissions@ljmu.ac.uk or Liz Hoare (E.Hoare@ljmu.ac.uk).
