We work to ensure the optimal health and wellbeing across multiple societal groups, from the youngest to oldest members of society, to elite athletes and individuals with significant health and wellbeing challenges. We promote healthy lives and physical, social and metal wellbeing across Liverpool. We are also committed to tackling global health challenges in low-resourced settings in the Global South.
We are committed to ensuring that nobody should suffer from the effects of poverty. That’s why we’re supporting our students with the cost-of-living crisis, offering safe and warm spaces on campus. This sentiment is built into our Access and Participation Plan which aims to improve equality of opportunity for underrepresented groups to access, succeed in and progress from higher education and avoid poverty.
LJMU research and facilities help to protect marine life and preserve our oceans for future generations. Locally, we offer state of the art facilities for students to train the next generation of maritime experts. We also work closely with ports and maritime companies to tackle key industry challenges. Internationally, our researchers have used forensic science to curb the illegal trade of marine wildlife and to detect microplastics in seas.
