Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

Liverpool Business School [LBS] lies within LJMU and is known for its innovation and its history of nurturing talent by providing the knowledge, experience and contacts our students need to succeed in their specialist business areas. 

Liverpool Business School are proud to provide a first-rate teaching and learning environment backed by research and scholarship which is central to our school ethos, as is delivering practical business solutions to local, national and international businesses.

As a Business School we are committed to embedding digital literacy, employability, and internationalisation into all programmes.  In addition, as signatories for PRME, we have a lively community of staff working across this area. We are also very proud of our Business and Accounting Clinic that have been established to provide students with the opportunity to undertake a live business consultancy project or prepare end of year accounts for an external host organisation. Our Business and Accounting Clinic works with businesses and organisations from across the Liverpool City Region.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.
