School of Humanities and Social Science facilities
Housed within a former nunnery, our facilities are unique
Based within the John Foster Building, a former nunnery, the School of Humanities and Social Science has many outstanding facilities, including well-equipped IT Suits, a light-filled Student Common Room and dedicated postgraduate study areas.
John Foster Building
The John Foster Building was a former nunnery and the buildings chapel provides a particularly beautiful setting for teaching, film screenings and other gatherings.
Mount Pleasant Library
At the back of the John Foster Building is the Mount Pleasant Campus Library, which gives access to an exceptional range of materials to support the study of humanities and social science.
Special Collections and Archives
In partnership with the Liverpool John Moores University Library, the School of Humanities and Social Science have made significant investments in a range of Special Collections and Archives, including the Willy Russell Archive, and Punch and the Victorian Periodical Press Collection. These form part of the wealth of resources available to both our undergraduates and our postgraduates.
