LJMU offers students a truly unique university experience; one that places work-related learning and skills development at the heart of every undergraduate degree, without compromising on the academic quality of our programmes. Representatives from Sony, Marks and Spencer, Shell and other leading organisations are working with them to determine the higher "world of work" or WoW skills that their students should have by the time they graduate. They are committed to giving our students the best foundations for a successful future. They offer excellent facilities, high quality degree programmes, supportive staff and a thriving student community drawn from 100 countries around the world. LJMU is proud to be a modern university, with learning and the advancement of our students at the heart of all our activity. Their approach is holistic in nature - they provide stimulating and challenging programmes of study that are informed by scholarship and research, and that engender a spirit of academic enquiry; and also provide an environment conducive to the personal development of their students through their Foundation for Citizenship they encourage students to become thoughtful, ethical people. They understand the importance of real-world experience and help students to gain practical experience through work placements.They also are aware that university isn't all about working and studying so they encourge students to socialise with their peers in a variety of ways - for example, in conjunction with Liverpool Students' Union they provide an wide range of sporting and recreational opportunities for their students and staff
