Liverpool John Moores University

M.Res in Health Sciences

“I am currently consulting with the LJMU and the Association of British Credit Unions (ABCUL) on three contract projects with one specifically pertaining to one of the largest housing associations in Merseyside. ABCUL is the primary trade association for credit unions in Britain representing 85% of the members and assets British movement. My dissertation “The impact of over-indebtedness and financial exclusion on health and well-being in Liverpool.”

The M.Res Health Sciences has equipped me with practical skills I can apply in a working environment. It has taught me to think outside the box and to desist from making judgements and presumptions. I now have the confidence to go out into the workforce and deliver professional standard of work. I also devote a couple of days a month to volunteering at local credit union, on which I am also on the Board of Directors.

Studying in Liverpool offers the serenity that you need to concentrate along with a social life. Most of all, Liverpool to is a niche location for young adults to study and develop their career.

I would recommend continuing further education at LJMU as it is full of inspiring and enthusiastic tutors and lecturers who are itching to support and guide students to becoming the very best that they can be. LJMU has a great Enterprise resource team and Business Bridge. These resources have helped me and provided me with valuable knowledge and work experience to strengthen my degree. I cannot stress how much pertinent work experience has contributed towards my career development thus far. “
