LIVERPOOL JOHN MOORES UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' UNION

Liverpool John Moores University Students' Union exists to help all of our members love student life. We do this through running sports, clubs, societies and events; campaigning with and on behalf of students; and offering support, advice and information. We want our students to have the best academic and social experience Liverpool can offer.
