We have developed a globally unique model of higher education- WoW (world of work) - which places work-related learningand graduate skills in every one of our undergraduate courses.

Carly Ashworth, one of ourfirst WoW graduates, studiedcriminology and sociologyand is currently workingtowards a PhD. “WoW hasbeen a big help, I now knowhow to present myself so thatemployers can see my fullpotential”

we will help youto stand outfrom the crowdA good university degree used to be enough to guaranteeyou a job. But things change. Nowadays, employerscomplain that graduates are failing to meet theirexpectations and graduates want more than just a job.

That’s why a graduate from LJMU has a better chance of a rewardingcareer and employers are more willing to look at a CV from an LJMU

graduate because they both know what they are getting from thepartnership.

We have developed WoW without compromising the academicquality of our degrees. Our teaching, learning and researchcredentials are second to none. The added extra is an experience ofthe real world, higher level skills development, verified by employers,and a deeper understanding of the world of work.

...the more I heard,the more I wasconvinced that LJMUwas the place to be “They are a great bunch of people at LJMU and before I got

involved with the University, I did what I would urge you todo, I did a lot of research, I talked to people and the more Iheard, the more I was convinced that LJMU was the place tobe. You will be at the same stage now, read everything youcan about LJMU, visit the website, view the film clips andabove all, visit the University... you won’t be disappointed.

“What LJMU have developed in WoW is a perfect example

of what a modern university is about. That extra element ofhigh level skills, the ability to communicate and to interactwith the world around you in order to do a job properly isreally important and I am very happy to be part of it.

“And finally, the LJMU ethos, Dream, Plan, Achieve, is veryclose to my heart and a very strong message, but I would addone more personal thing – Enjoy. Make sure you enjoy everymoment along the way.”

LJMU Chancellor - Dr Brian May CBE
