SUPPORTING YOU ALL THE WAY

Ask any of our students what really stands out about life as a postgraduate student at LJMU and they will tell you the same thing: the excellent support on offer from tutors, library and support staff. Our Wellbeing Officers are the first point of contact for any support you need. They cover each faculty and are always on hand to help out. At LJMU we want you to succeed and that means doing everything in our power to assist you. Granted, postgraduate study is far more independent than undergraduate study, but staff here provide all the training and skills you need to take on the challenge and get to where you want to be.

AS WELL AS EASY ACCESS TO TUTOR SUPPORT, WE OFFER A HOST OF ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC AND PASTORAL SERVICES TO ASSIST YOU DURING YOUR STUDIES. HERE IS JUST A TASTER:

STUDY SKILLS

Workshops are available on various aspects of postgraduate study including academic writing, effective reading skills, exam and revision skills, report writing and IT skills. We provide pre-sessional English courses for those whose language qualifications do not meet entry requirements. See ljmu.ac.uk/isc for more details. Our team provides information on postgraduate funding including loans, grants and bursaries, as well as offering guidance on budgeting and money management.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE FUNDING

As well as a ‘meet and greet’ service when you arrive in the UK, our international team will help with issues such as your visa, setting up a UK bank account and an email address and registering with the police, contact:

international@ljmu.ac.uk

STUDENT ADVICE AND WELLBEING

Our team offers advice and guidance on issues ranging from health to accommodation and childcare.

SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

Confidential, non-judgemental pastoral care and support is available for students of all beliefs and backgrounds. We have facilities for quiet meditation, prayer and contemplation on each campus, as well as dedicated space for Muslim prayers.

DISABILITY SUPPORT

We have disability co-ordinators in every academic school and an on-site assessment room for those with additional needs.

COUNSELLING AND MENTAL HEALTH
