The programme route you undertake will depend on your qualifications and experience. Most of our students initially register for MPhil/PhD and go on to complete their PhD via successful progression from MPhil.
You can study for an MPhil full time over one or two years or part time over two to four years. Progressing from an MPhil (and including MPhil registration), you can study for a PhD full time over 33 to 48 months or part time over 45 to 84 months. If you are taking a direct route PhD, you can study full-time over two to three years or part-time over three to six years.
On joining LJMU you will be allocated up to three supervisors (including a Director of Studies) who will work with you during your studies. Progression monitoring is undertaken formally and informally by this team on an ongoing basis.
Each year, each Faculty provides the University Research Degrees Committee with a summative report on the progress of all its eligible postgraduate research students.
Throughout your studies, you will also have the support of LJMU’s Graduate School which offers expert advice and guidance to those enrolled on MPhil and PhD programmes.
How learning is monitored on your programme
To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. Assessment techniques vary from module to module to reflect relevant assessment approaches and the key learning points of each topic.
Final examination for both the MPhil and the PhD is by thesis and oral examination.
The MPhil differs from the PhD in terms of the depth of study required and the extent of your personal contribution to knowledge. It requires competence in conducting an independent enquiry as well as in the use of appropriate research methods and techniques. Examiners will expect you to display satisfactory background knowledge of the subject.
To gain a PhD you are expected to show mastery of a special field and to have made an original personal contribution to the understanding of a problem, the advancement of knowledge, or the generation of new ideas. Examiners will expect you to be at the forefront of understanding in your chosen topic.
If you are studying for an MPhil you may be able to progress to a PhD, via written and oral assessments in Year 2 (for full-time students) or Year 3 (for part-time students).

Dr Elizabeth Mahon
Programme leader.
Elizabeth completed her PhD at LJMU in Nutrition for Ultra-Endurance Sport, alongside a Postgraduate Diploma in Sport Nutrition with the International Olympic Committee. She is a registered nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition, with specialisms in sport and public health. Elizabeth has worked as an academic and practitioner in both of these fields and has a passion for improving the health and fitness of the general population, as well as working with performance athletes. Her research interests are primarily in sports nutrition, more specifically looking at optimising the diet and nutritional strategies of ultra-endurance athletes.
The most enjoyable and rewarding aspect of my role is seeing students' progress through their course and helping them to reach their potential. It is great to see them leave us in their final year with the confidence to enter the workplace in their chosen discipline.

Liverpool John Moores University students on Postgraduate Search say:
“It was fantastic studying here, I had the opportunity to learn my subject with understanding of all its dimensions, the facilities were as per need of international student.”
“It’s a new place for me to study my PG course and its better than i am expected. Learning contents from the university is awesome. lectures are very helpful for the studies. the university provide free gym facilities etc”
“Eye opening. I never thought that I was capable of achieving what I have so far, and also wasn’t even aware of the vast opportunity within the department/world of sports science when I first began my studies. I have gained a great deal of skills and knowledge which will be invaluable to my future/career.”
Postgraduate
Taught Masters are available over one or two years to build on undergraduate degrees. Classes are smaller and provide an opportunity for students to build their independent learning skills.
A range of research courses are available including MRes, MPhil and PhD.
Postgraduates will find that Liverpool John Moores University is extremely welcoming, no matter their age or reasons for returning to education. The campus and the city are both excellent as a destination for further education, with top-quality facilities to enhance the postgraduate student life.
Students on a postgraduate degree are actively encouraged to make use of the Students’ Union and its clubs and societies, creating one vibrant learning atmosphere for all.
The university's 130+ programmes are developed and delivered by leading academics whose industry experience enables them to combine real world insight with cutting edge theory. Students can expect a high standard of teaching, which will prepare them to become the experts of tomorrow in their chosen field.
The five faculties offer a diverse mix of courses, including postgraduate opportunities. These are a mix of taught and research courses, both of which have a heavy leaning on independent learning, giving students the freedom to utilise the resources available to them but study in a way that suits them.
“The teaching methods are very interesting. it's easy to understand.”
“Relating the lectures to real life experiences as most of my time is spent on placement, so what we learn in University we can apply directly to our teaching.”
Entry requirements vary for each course of study. Students can find the exact requirements for their course on the university’s website, by searching for their chosen field. Broadly, students applying for undergraduate courses must have completed A-Levels or equivalent diplomas, with international students asked to provide high school completion forms.
Postgraduate study is not guaranteed and requires students to apply, demonstrating completion of a relevant undergraduate field of study. Pre-postgrad courses are available for international students, to get them up to speed on the level of education required to transfer into a full postgrad degree.
International students are required to speak English, with a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 and no component lower than 5.5.
