Hello, I'm Michael from Liverpool. I've been at LJMU since 2005 studying at undergraduate, postgraduate, and now my PhD - while working for the university in various different roles too! Currently, I'm a fulltime PhD student in the School of Education, on the LJMU Vice Chancellor's PhD Scholarship, hoping to become an Academic in Higher Education after finishing. I've studied two undergraduate degrees (Marketing and Law - Marketing was a Sandwich Programme with a year in industry), a Postgrad Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education and a Masters in Advanced Educational Practice. I have worked for the University for a number of years including in Student Recruitment, Library Services and Employability - and with the Student's Union for a number of projects, so have a good general knowledge about LJMU - please ask me anything and I'm sure I'll be able to help! I'm also from Liverpool - just ten minutes outside the city centre - any questions about the city are welcome too. I'm a certified Sushi chef and love cooking - as well as most sports and keeping fit - I go the LJMU gym five times a week - and have been involved in numerous societies, clubs and events over the years, so can help with questions about stuff to do outside of your studies, particularly when it comes to making new friends! I use one of the LJMU libraries to study in everyday too - and love the little community of fellow students we've developed here - so any questions about the libraries, daily study options or just what to expect in general, please let me know.
