Welcome to the Management School
Your master's journey with the Management School is about to begin
Congratulations on securing your place on one of our master’s programmes!
I look forward to welcoming you to campus in September. In the meantime, I’d like to share some advice to help you prepare for the exciting journey ahead.
If you are moving to Liverpool for the first time, or want to see what life is like on campus, then take a moment to explore the University’s Settling in pages, which include virtual tours of campus and the city as well as information about our sports facilities, libraries and support services.
Once you arrive, I would encourage you to get involved in the wider postgraduate community during your time at the School. From Monday 21 to Friday 25 September, we have a packed week of talks, activities and socials taking place as part of Welcome Week where you can meet your Director of Studies, your coursemates and the wider Management School staff. Download the timetable* to find out more (uploaded Thursday 13 August). *Timetables are subject to change so please keep checking back for updates.
Alongside the many societies offered by the University’s Guild of Students, the Management School provides many extra-curricular activities such as the Enhance Programme, run by our dedicated Careers Support team. These are all excellent ways to not only develop skills outside of your core studies but also to meet new people from other programmes across the School and the wider University.
Liverpool is a welcoming and inspiring city; take time to explore, make new friends, and above all, embrace this life-changing experience!

These pages are filled with lots of information, tips and resources to help you get started when you join in September and for your new life at the University of Liverpool.
Working while you study
Working part-time during your studies is a great way to earn some extra money while also gaining great transferable skills and experience for your CV. For international students there are some restrictions and rules on working in the UK that you need to know.
Chat with a current student
Talk to a current student about life at the University of Liverpool, your programme, living in the city and more. Our friendly ambassadors look forward to answering your questions and sharing advice about life in Liverpool.

The Liverpool Guild of Students
