LJMU have a dual focus on quality on education through curriculum delivered in Liverpool and via our external engagement activities. We have committed to feature sustainable development as part of our taught courses, and we’re making efforts to decolonise the curriculum. We’re committed to our local community, delivering training for secondary school students in climate, chemistry and astrology.
We’re committed to protecting our environment and supporting a sustainable future for our students and the global community. On campus, we launched the UK’s first undergraduate degree on climate change and have revamped our buildings to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, used ground-breaking research to tackle peat fires in Indonesia and we’ve delivered flood resilience workshops in Cumbria.
