Your dream job

It might seem a little early to think about what you’ll be doing after graduation but it’s important that you study at a university that will give you the skills, experience and contacts you need for professional success. Every programme at LJMU is specifically designed to do just that and that’s why our students are highly valued by employers.

Over 95% of our students are in work or further study six months after they graduate

OPPORTUNITIES TO FIND PAID AND VOLUNTARY WORK

The University and Liverpool John Moores Students’ Union (JMSU) offer you a range of opportunities and many programmes have links with voluntary organisations at home and overseas.

Over a third of our students complete some form of volunteering while they are at LJMU and the experiences they have can be both life-changing and career advancing.

We know that a lot of our students want to find paid work while they are studying at LJMU. Our vacancy website can help you find graduate vacancies, sandwich or industrial placements, internships or summer work, part time jobs, volunteering opportunities and work-based learning placements. Over 1000 local and regional employers regularly list jobs on this website, which is only open to LJMU students.

LJMU also works with Unitemps, a commercial employment agency providing a wide range of better paid student jobs across Merseyside in retail, administration, postal services, secretarial, call centres, computing, translation and marketing. International students can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full time during holidays.

During my time at LJMU I have developed sports leggings which increase the blood circulation in the lower body and gloves which offer extra grip for sporting applications.

With an undergraduate degree in Science from the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka and a Diploma in Textiles, Dunila Hettiarachichi won a scholarship to study for his masters in Fashion Innovation and Realisation at LJMU. a qualification to back up my experience. The programme at LJMU was ideal and I loved the fact that the modules were all about experience and practical applications relevant to your career, rather than just writing assignments.”
