Don’t let the new higher tuition fees put you off applying for a place at LJMU. The system won’t necessarily lead to greater financial hardship.

Full-time undergraduate students no longer have to pay their tuition fees upfront. Students can take out a loan to cover their fees. This should make it easier for you to finance the day-to-day costs of being at university. If you want to pay your tuition fees yourself and not take out a loan you can make arrangements to do this when you enrol on your course.

LJMU’s full-time undergraduate tuition fees will be £3,225+ inflation per year from 2009.

The tuition fee loan will be paid direct to LJMU on your behalf to cover the cost of your fees. This loan is repayable once you complete your course and your income goes above £15,000. This means that you do not have to repay anything whilst you are studying.

Due to changes in Government regulations, students who have already attended a full-time university course should contact Student Welfare Services for more information regarding their funding, or see section entitled previous study.

If you study part-time you will not be eligible for a loan for your tuition fees. Students studying 50% or more of a full-time course will be eligible for a means tested grant towards the cost of their fees. See the section on part time support for more information.

The Master of Science Degree in Human Resource Management is designed to prepare managers to participate in the management and development of human resources in business, industry and the not-for-profit sector. The program provides instruction which prepares students for careers as professionals in the field of human resource management; offers them theoretical background, concepts and skills to those already in the field so that they may enhance their positions and facilitate their development within the profession; and presents an application-oriented, real-world focus for those wishing to build highly developed management skills.

The Advanced Graduate Certificate in Human Resource Management is a non-degree program which presents many of the critical aspects of the degree program and which may be appropriate for those in management who have a graduate degree but desire specific education in the critical aspects of human resource management. It may also help those who are not ready to commit to completing the entire degree learn key aspects of human resource management and, perhaps, decide to take advantage of the benefit of the full degree program.
