Come and meet us
Currently we are unable to welcome visitors on to face to face events, however we are committed to welcoming people back on to campus as soon as possible. Our programme of drop-in coffee mornings and events will be listed here when we have availability. At our events, you will be able to speak to staff and students, discuss accommodation, receive expert funding advice and pick up tips for your UCAS application. These are family-friendly events and refreshments are provided.
Online chats for mature students
At our monthly chats you’ll be able to talk to LJMU students and a member of staff. Topics covered include: applying to university, student finance and student life as a mature student. Simply click the link to register for a date and we will send you a reminder on the day.
Interested in meeting other mature students?
While studying at LJMU you can meet other mature students by joining the Mature Student Network. Open to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, the group meet regularly to socialise and offer support to one another.
