Shocking. Given my time again, I would not touch LJMU with a barge pole it is an absolute disgrace from top to bottom. Poorly run, poor communication, no student councilling just a money pit.
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
I feel alone and failed by the Education Department at LJMU. My school is great and so are the staff. My tutor never turns up to meetings, my feedback is neutral as there is no support and if it wasn't for the staff at my school I would have gone home to Northern Ireland. A one star place at best.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
There is no teaching, staff do not turn up to lectures or school observations. The courses are almost entirely self taught as there is very little contact.
How many contact hours per week do you have?

Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union? If you don't get involved, why not?
A WASTE OF TIME AS THESE ARE JUST OUT FOR THE BOOZE.
Accommodation

A disgrace with noise, cold, dirt and abusive behaviour allowed. LJMU do't care about students they just want our money.
Uni Facilities
How good are your university’s facilities?
Shocking, the library is big but staff allow noisy students to behave poorly in there.

Student Support
