Liverpool John Moores University in general

I graduated from LJMU in 2004 after doing a BA there. I have mixed feelings about this university. Liverpool is great (I'm still here so it must be) but John Moores is only OK. It employs very aggressive marketing tactics, which I think is one of the reasons it has so mny students - about 20,000 when I was there. The course I was on didn't have all the latest equipment and facilties, though they weren't totally out of date. The lecturers were very mixed, couple of good ones, but some really bad ones too. The course wasn't always well organised, such as turnigng up for lectures and finding they weren't on! The libraries are ...  Read the complete review

I currently study at Liverpool john moores university, although I do not live in I hear nothing but good things about the halls of residence, they are clean and in good condition but a bit noisy ... not a problem ! With regards to facilities they seem to have everything for most subjects, I study construction and they have all of the up to date modern equipment and I have visited the arts and sports area which all seems state of the art. If I am completely honest the main problem with the university is tutors not turning up to lectures / tutorials with out any notice or prior warning which is rather annoying. The other main problem with the university is ...  Read the complete review

I worked at John Moores Univeristy for 8 year's as a PA to various Directors within the school and I absolutely loved it. There is a special atmosphere within this University which is hard to explain. Maybe it has something to do with the fantastic Lecturing staff, the committed administrative staff and the fact that it is based in Liverpool City Centre which gives it a buzz all of it's own. I know for a fact that all the teaching staff and the administrative staff work very hard and have the student's best interests at heart at all times. People there really do care and it has a sort of family atmosphere to it. Both staff and student's are friendly and jolly ...  Read the complete review

Having just completed my Degree and Masters at Liverpool John Moores and now studying for a PhD at Loughborough with the two leading academics in my field, I would have to disagree with a review I just read indicating only people with no qualifications would go to John Moores, I did well in my A-Levels and could have chosen a different university with ease, however; the open day I attending at my department was really great and gave the image of a well qualified department that really cared about the subject they were delivering and about the students. I completed a sports based course at the I M Marsh campus set aside from the rest of the university. On ...  Read the complete review

Most of the reviews on this page are written by the poor shmucks who for whatever reason decided to go to JMU (bad grades, bad luck, who knows). JMU is awful: generally recognised as about the weakest of the former polys, so desperate to recruit students it trawls the graveyards (only for the gravediggers I think - but that guy next to me in one lecture....). But seriously: don't fall for they hype. Liverpool is a great city to be student if you have the grades to go to a good uni. But that's the University of Liverpool. And whilst half the JMU graduates try to pretend they went there you just cannot fake the certificate. Let this one go. You ...  Read the complete review
