Liverpool John Moores Is it a good university

It's great for vocational stuff but some of the other subjects are hit and miss.

Terrible teaching my sister dropped out and got into Uni of York
i would avoid try it but that s my sister

So i didnt get offers from my first and second choice univrsities which were russell group unis. My third choice LJMU I got an uncondition offer but it's not a russell group uni. I was wondering how good this uni is? and what job prospectus are like at this uni? Im studying Zoology by the way. Im really worried that not going to a RG uni will affect my employability over somebody who did go to a RG. Then i read that not all good unis are RG unis, however where does LJMU stand in this? Is it a fairly decent uni? with a good reputation?

Hi!

Congratulations on gaining a place at John Moores!

With regards to your concern over employability, what employers tend to look for is what you did with your time at univeristy, rather than which university you graduated from. A graduate who has been an active member of socities, course representing and internships provided through uni are going to stand out more on their CV than someone who hasn't had these oppurtunities. In this sense, John Moores is a fantastic univeristy as there are so many oppurtunties provided throughout the year to enhance your CV, including library support services. The oppurtunities are also designed so that they can fit in aroud your studies.

As a student myself, I am yet to see a job advert which has discriminated against those who haven't been to a redbrick university. But the majority do ask that you graduate with a 2:1.

It is important to remember that the experience of one person doesn't reflect the experience of others, especially those on other courses. However, I have heard generally good things about the zoology course, including trips to Sweden! A univeristy experience isn't just about where it ranks in league tables, it is important to consider the support available to you, in both your academic and personal life, as well as the location and standard of accomodation (John Moores again is a fantastic university which provides a range of accomodation to cover all budgets and are only a fifteen minute walk from your university buildings).

I think it helps to weigh up what's important to you and what you want to gain from your time at university in order to make a decision. John Moores really is a very supportive university which provides numerous oppurtunities to improve yourself as a person and your CV.

I hope this helps, feel free to comment below if you have any more questions regarding this issue

Considering they spelt ‘university’ incorrectly twice in this response, I might look elsewhere
