Student life

Famed for its music, arts and culture, Liverpool is a vibrant coastal city perfect for students. Compact, safe and easy to explore, there's lots to discover - from indie hub, the Baltic Triangle to the historic Waterfront and the redeveloped Albert Dock. With public festivals, more theatres and museums than any other UK city outside London and an active sports scene, you won't be short of things to do!

Our Student Life Building acts as a central hub to socialise, study and access a range of student services, such as careers advice and our Heatlh and Wellbeing team. It is also the home of the John Moores Student Union (JMSU). They are here to help you get involved in the student community through more than 100 student groups and societies – and if you see a gap in our roster of groups, they make it easy to set one up of your own and get people involved. As well as societies, JMSU also facilitate over 50 competitive sports teams making it easy find your community.

 

What's it like to live in North West?
Check out our region guide

The North West is made up of Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Merseyside. Its two biggest cities, Liverpool and Manchester, are global landmarks in music and football history.

The region was the heart of the industrial revolution – at one time, Lancashire produced half the world’s cotton. Many architectural reminders of this era remain, like Liverpool’s Royal Albert Docks and Chester's Victorian centre.

The stunning Lake District – home to England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike – needs no filters, while Blackpool is a seaside adventure.
