Your first week at LJMU

 

Your first week as an LJMU student will focus on your academic introduction to the university – we call this your induction week. You’ll meet your academic team, teaching staff, and other students studying on your course. This will give you an idea of what and how you will study this year.

You’ll also receive information on all the support services offered by the university, as well as sport and gym memberships with LJMU Sport, and societies and clubs organised by your students’ union, JMSU.

Please note:
Most of our students will be starting on Monday 16 September 2024. Students starting their studies at other times in the year will be contacted directly about their course start date and induction.

Campus Connect

If you haven’t already, you can join Campus Connect to find your class and housemates and start making friends before you arrive. Check your emails for joining instructions.

Induction timetable

You are expected to attend all the sessions outlined on your induction timetable, which should be available online from Thursday 15 August 2024. It will have details about which LJMU buildings you need to go to, plus times, room numbers and the activities you must attend. Find out where your classes will be and how long it will take to get from home to LJMU by using our interactive map.

Freshers activities

There will also be social and freshers activities that you can book through JMSU taking place across your first two weeks here, including the epic Freshers Fair. Their schedule of events will help you to get to know other new students and introduce you to some of the best things to do in the wonderful city of Liverpool.
