该校的历史可以上溯到1823年利物浦商人与学徒图书馆的建立。1970年利物浦的数家院校合并后成立了利物浦理工学院。1992年经皇家特许建成利物浦约翰摩尔大学。目前学校的学生人数约为2050人。 学校设施 该大学没有中心校园,学校的建筑和设施遍及全城,大多距城市中心区仅有数步之遥。
主要校园
有四处:MountPleasant校园:艺术专业和专业性的学科;ByromStreet校园:保健、理科和工科专业;HenryCotton校园:人文和社会科学;IMMarsh校园则侧重于教育与社区教学。主学生会位于MountPleasant校园内的Haigh大楼中。其设施包括崭新的综合娱乐区,名为Cooler,还有酒吧、商店、夜总会、打印社、银行、聚会场所、咨询中心和就业服务中心等等。属于学生会的各种设施和商店遍及全校。该校的学生杂志《Shout》和学社电台Shout FM非常专业,曾经在全国获奖。该大学的图书馆有学习与信息中心之称,座落在校内三处学习资源中心的中间地段。除50万册藏书之外,馆内的设施还有一流的计算机检索系统、复印、报纸、音像资料与电视。学生随处都可以使用计算机设备。Unix系统主要用于工程、计算机辅助设计(CAD)、和优质图形设计项目,而装有标准行业用软件的PC机也非常多。网上和CDROM中的学习资料也越来越多。 Nicholas中心集中了各种体育设施,最近重新开发后成为学生的主要活动场所。中心内有两个体育馆、舞蹈排练厅、日光浴场、医务室、休息室和B2健身中心,内有高科技的健身设备,优秀健身教练的培训班。该校的IMMarsh校园有游泳池,学生也可以去利物浦大学的游泳池游泳。学生办一张通用体育卡,就可以非常便宜和方便地使用利物浦全城的体育设施,其中包括壁球场和田径场等等。
利物浦有很好的艺术氛围。爱乐乐厅是世界闻名的利物浦爱乐乐团常演奏的地方;Tate美术馆经常举办一流的作品展;包括“甲壳虫经历”博物馆在内的一些博物馆都近在咫尺。该市是流行文化中心,也是两支一流足球队--利物浦队和Everton队的故乡。离该市不远即有三处风光优美的自然景区:威尔士的Snowdonia、匹克区和约克郡谷。再向北行则是欧洲最美的自然保护区之一——湖区国家公园。 开设课程 该大学设有各种本科,硕士和研究生学位以及英语辅导课程。
几个世纪以来,利物浦一直是英国通往世界的重要门户之一。19世纪时利物浦是世界上最发达的贸易城市之一。近来推动该市经济发展的则是旅游业、服务业和新兴的媒体行业。该大学位于市中心区,是城市生活的重要组成部分。利物浦正在通过大量的引资进行改革。该市以音乐(甲壳虫乐队)、足球(利物浦队和Everton队)及其人民而闻名。当地人也称为利物浦人。
利物浦还是全国的表演艺术中心,也是该市人保罗·麦卡特尼爵士建立的英国第一所“明星”学校--利物浦表演艺术学校的所在地。
Originally founded as a small mechanics institution (Liverpool Mechanics' School of Arts) in 1825, the institution grew over the centuries by converging and amalgamating with different colleges and eventually became the Liverpool Polytechnic. In 1992, the Polytechnic became one of the UK's new generation universities and assumed the name Liverpool John Moores University. The University took its name from Sir John Moores, the founder of the Littlewoods empire, which has been synonymous with Liverpool since it began in 1923. Sir John was a great believer in the creation of opportunity for all which embodies the ethos of LJMU in providing educational routes for people of all ages and from all backgrounds.
LJMU has continued to go from strength to strength, and we now have over 24,000 students from all over the world. The University has played a vital role in the cultural renaissance of Liverpool and has taken an active part in the regeneration of the city. New advances in digital technology and science have placed the University at the forefront of exciting developments in areas such as multimedia, sports science and space exploration.
LJMU is a contemporary university in one of the most famous cities in the world. We aim to give people the opportunity to maximise their potential in an environment that is stimulating, challenging and exciting, but also caring and supportive to promote a sense of whole person development. We are particularly committed to providing opportunities for talented people from backgrounds where a university education is not always seen as a viable option.
The University is organised into six Faculties spanning Business and Law; Education, Community and Leisure; Health and Applied Social Sciences; Media, Arts and Social Science; Science; Technology and Environment.
