Great university and all the opportunity’s are great
I’ve met lots of people and I really enjoy being a part of the poker society. The campus has good facilities and I think the library looks good now it’s been refurbished
Good place to go and have a fun time
Also gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
It’s a good university for the study
Honestly, do not even consider this University for your undergraduate or postgraduate degree. I started my MSc programme here and was treated terribly by uncoordinated staff and lazy lecturers. Worst of all however, was the complete disregard for students personal issues and wellbeing. I informed the University I couldn't pay my tuition until a week later due to late paychecks and utility bills. The University responded by taking the tuition straight out of my bank account and when I complained about this, there response was "its automatic, you cant get a refund" which put me in a really bad place. Do NOT consider this University, as they only see you as revenue.
Best uni in lpool, social life is insane
LJMU Art and Design is a great place with lovely facilities and wonderful teachers.

really good and really fun and helpful
Good location good people good cleaning
Have met some great people from uni and staff have been really supportive throughout the course
Redmonds is a very good building with nice facilitie
Everything is good nice campus
The societies need to be more accessible
Staff are soo friendly and the course is brilliant
Fantastic uni , loving my time here
Great experience ! And I love my course and tutors
My campus is outside of Liverpool so that’s the only reason I do not like it however you get a lot of support.
I like the building layout and resources
I have studied here for 2 years now, I have made lots of friends and learned a lot of news skills!
The uni is very good and it offers a lot of support if you are ever struggling. It’s got many great facilities such as a 24 hour library so if you like working at night that’s not a problem.
I love my university, the best place to study in Liverpool :)
Great resources staff are always friendly and helpful
John Moores University is great
Wow. How disappointing! From day 1 I’ve had issues with my time table and modules due to their administration errors (which I still continue to fix myself). Trying to get help with your modules is a myth. ironically the Student engagement officers cancel your appointments and completely ignore your feedback. We pay almost £10,000 a year and yet the lecturers can’t be bothered to turn on the mic in lecture halls of 200+ students, so you can’t hear anything. Absolutely shocking. I’ve moved back to the uk to attend university and it’s the biggest mistake I’ve made thus far. I’m currently looking to transfer universities as I can’t bare another year at this place.
Good staff, everyone so friendly
Okay I have received a message to let me confirm the payment done with the new
LJMU is a great university. I will be sad to see the closure of IM marsh, however i will of graduated by then.
Great uni, lots of societies to join and staff are always helpful.
Stan is all night owl at Apollo.
Stan is all night owl at apollo，so we feel very safe·
have very good experience in liverpool！
Nice staff and nice environment
LJMU is a widely diverse university with great campuses located around the city. However, there is no SU location for events and some campuses are outdated and old. On the plus side, the lectures are great and incredibly helpful like all the staff across the university. I would definitely recommend John Moores as it is a very fun university to attend.
Decent, gets the job done and lots of support.
The lecturers are always willing to help
Great uni and the lectures and personal tutors are very helpful.
It helps so much with our career
Im doing a masters at Liverpool John Moores university and I’m having a great time! The roadworks are a pain at the minute but the university has worked hard in making sure all the students are safe and well looked after.
It is 15 minutes away from the university
Great experience, have had a great time overall
Amazing university, would highly recommend, really helpfully and very Supportive with mental health and well-being.
Really good, modern facilities and excellent tutors and staff.
Great Uni. loads of facilities and lots of societies to choose from. The teaching is also great.
Great Facilities, lots of support
I am really enjoying my time at Uni
uni is enjoyable and everyone is supportive
Staff is very useful and kindless
Love the uninreally nice atmosphere
Facilities are equipped and well arranged
everything is good and helpful
My Campus (Mount Pleasant) is great. Good, modern library. Always staff there to help if you need anything. The well being services are also great, the support not only from the student advice & wellbeing team is excellent but also from the tutors. I have found that even if someone is not your personal tutor, they are always on hand to talk and are happy to arrange a meeting with you. Another perk is that you get printing credits & on my course (Law) you get all of your core books for free! This is a massive bonus considering it's this stuff that all adds up! The careers help is excellent. Receive numerous emails a week about things we can be doing, employability fairs / events, careers meetings, talks etc. There are so many societies etc. The lectures are also really good. The majority of my lecturers have been great and have made subjects that I can't stand... interesting! I can't fault my university at all, I'll be sad to go!
Better last year everything else ik
There’s a little help from admin can be confusing.
New to LJMU. Some absolutely lovely people working here, can't do enough to help you. Then there are those who seemingly go out of their way to make you feel inferior. I can even give an example- I was walking down a busy hallway and apologised to the person coming toward me because I couldn't move over any further. I was forced to stop because this person was a teacher who refused to move over a little to let me by. Instead, he made a production of it and stated "You're going to have to move, because I'm not going to move." I know this seems like a small thing, but I felt humiliated by this, his friend even stood and watched. I believe it was rather rude. Especially as I did not know where I was going and I also apologised for being in the way in the first place. People here either a pleasure or arrogant jerks.
Im a current student of ljmu studying at their franchised school of architecture in SriLanka. It is my biggest disappointment to study at this campus due the level of responsibility and validation ljmu engaged in our franchised course. The local professors are biased and picks on certain students for personal reasons. The course was a rollercoaster of mental harrassments and unethical activities through academic assessments. I tried complaining about these issues to the main campus, but no proper action was taken.
Health and Wellbeing not good; don't follow up students who have made contact, this is not good if they are suffering from anxiety or depression. What are they there for? Students leave who can't cope, students suffer short and long term. And no one tells tells their next of kin.
Brilliant uni, especially for quantity surveying/construction students. Really fun place to be. Comfortable. Strongly recomend
LJMU is undoubtedly the most inadequate university in the country. I sat a masters degree and LJMU will not even allocate the credits I passed, leaving simply because I was completely unsupported and they even refused to accept a student loan for fees. Simply the university from top to bottow are inadequate and the sooner that Ofsted get themselves in there and close this establishment the better. I would like to call LJMU an educational establishment but simply they do not provide a suitable level of provision even if education was free and never mind nine grand a year. Please avoid.
One of the biggest scams I’ve endured in my life was going to LJMU. On open day they promised me the world and claimed that every student gets a job upon graduating in their field of study. All of the “dream, plan, achieve” was just a vague motto that was meant to reel in vulnerable people. LJMU should offer a disclaimer to state that going to their institute could be a costly waste of time.
MSc in Astrophysics by distance learning: Horrible, miserable staff, unprofessional, a totally disgrace, ridiculous system, please don't waste your money...!!! Lack of feedback, no exam solutions provided, poor communication, invest your money in other institution. They have no idea what means distance learning no support and no way to learn anything..!!!!
Did a journalism degree at LJMU, please go elsewhere - this uni is the worst "education" I've ever experienced. I pretty much spent £9000 a year to self-teach. The students are flat and boring but at least their better than the lecturers. The journalism lecturers are unhelpful, rude and unprofessional - how they ever made it to the top tier of teaching is a complete joke.
The Drama course is one of the least organised efforts in all of humanity's history. The vast majority of the course tutors have displayed astronomic levels of arrogance, incompetence, pomposity and un-earned braggadocio that has made the £9,250 a year cost for the pleasure of their company hard to swallow. In terms of ability, most of these tutors wouldn't make the grade at the majority of primary schools and the communication between staff members could only be made worse if they hired mimes instead of PHDs.
Incompetent staff, virtually no existence of helping you after graduation. Hundreds of graduates from this university now work in Mcdonalds or warehouses. Please do not come here!
Fine art is very poor. Hardly any contact with tutors or lecturers. My tutor has spent a little more than twenty minutes with me all year. She still doesn't know all the names of her tutor group even. No one is remotely interested in students or their work. Staff go through the motions needed to be paid and disappear. So gutted I chose to come here. There isn't enough room or equipment. Libraries are excellent but everything else is extremely poor value for money.
Just some advice don't go to this university
I have a applied for a postgraduate study at LJMU. First week of enrolment I have cancelled my enrolment for personal reasons. Although I have made several attempts, I was unable to speak to the course leader until the end of second week. Leader's unavailability has caused me to pay 207 admin fee for the two weeks which I have never attended neither present at classes.
On my course, some lecturers are brilliant and a couple are the complete opposite!
Best university around. No doubt
Halls are okay, Internet is bad though as well as this TV reception is awful too.
Only been there for a month but its been a great experience, lectures and staff are very friendly to put you at ease. The facilities are also of high standard especially Redmond's building
Disappointed with the help and support from John Moore's university. Also disappointed with the attitude received from lecturers during teaching as they showed no enthusiasm towards the course topic. This led to me moving to Hope university in Liverpool which has a much friendlier atmosphere and tutors have made the effort to get to know students.
From my experience the lectures put their heart and soul into their job and try their up most best to ensure you have the best support possible. Fabulous Eduacation studies team and feel privelidged to have spent three wonderful years there
good university, wasn't much going on within student union compared to other universities that my friends attend. But overall a good uni (excellent for anyone wanting to take drama)
Humanities and social science school
We no.longer have a student union it was great last year they should bring that back
disappointed with the the lack of a student union area, compared to Uni of Liverpool we have very little facilities
Great atmosphere, enthusiastic staff. Libraries are the perfect place to get work done.
The campuses don't actually feel like campuses, more just like 2 or 3 buildings. Everything is so spaced out which is annoying for student halls. The teaching is normally really good however the exam preparation we have been given isn't great. I do really like my course but would be better if you could pick your modules in the second year.
A genuinely amazing experience.
Brilliant university extremely happy I moved over to john moores they are very welcoming and the lecturers are extremely helpfuk
Excellent, could not have asked for more
Facility wise, I don't think there are enough computers in Byrom St campus as sometimes classes are on then we have no access to those rooms. There is also no quiet space to go study inbetween lectures and the library isn't always that quiet
Couldn't use WiFi as their system didn't allow nexus 5s to connect. Not really important as you get 4g everywhere. My course was mainly independent so having poor lecturers wasn't so bad but the worst part is probably having no work for weeks then 4 assignments in for the same day or something similar. Good uni. I do enjoy the course all slandering aside
I would like there to be a Student Union bar with pub quizzes and trips etc like other unis.
I'm so glad I came to this university over the Uni of Liverpool. The staff at the university are so lovely and willing to help you with any problem you may have during the duration of the course. The rating on campus will vary as there are different buildings, I am fortunate enough to attend Redmonds building which is the most modern one.
