Outreach events 2025
At LJMU, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to access higher education and outreach events aim to inspire students and support them in making informed decisions about their future.
We offer a range of engaging activities designed to inspire students when it comes to their university options. These include subject taster sessions, campus visits and free residentials. These interactions provide hands-on experiences to help students make the right choice for them.
If you are a teacher or careers advisor and would like to book a session, please complete the form on our Inspiring students to progress webpage.

Higher Education Exhibitions
As well as attending school and college events, LJMU will be represented at higher education exhibitions across the country over the coming months.
These events organised by UCAS and UK University Search provide an opportunity to ask questions to staff about all that LJMU and studying in Liverpool has to offer.
