International partnerships
Liverpool John Moores University partners with respected colleges, universities and organisations around the world.
Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is committed to becoming a ‘pioneering modern civic and globally-engaged university’ and are committed to developing a range of long-term, mutually-beneficial international partnerships offering a variety of collaborative activity.
We are very proud of our international reputation, as well as our place in the world, and are currently engaged with partners in over 16 countries to support an ethos of global citizenship, across our student and staff community while supporting the wider LJMU development strategy.
Our Internationalisation Strategy focuses on enhancing our global presence, making the LJMU brand available overseas as well as other activities which encompass student and staff exchange, visiting faculty, dual awards, joint research, articulation arrangements and summer schools.
Within the LJMU Strategy 2023-2030, a key principle ‘Place and Partnership’ encompasses the importance of global partners specifically, given its history as a major port, Liverpool’s sense of place also has a global inflection, and the university has a growing international dimension across its activity base. We are committed to augmenting our visibility as a student destination and education partner, to supporting the interests of the city and region through our global connections and influence, and to forging research collaborations across the world that help to build economies, reduce poverty and enhance health and education outcome.
