I am Reader in Astrophysics in the
Astrophysics Research Institute, part of
Liverpool John Moores University.
I teach in
the
undergraduate astronomy degrees, delivered jointly by Liverpool
John Moores University and
the University of Liverpool. This
is a unique arrangement in the UK whereby the Physics department of
the UofL and the ARI have joined forces to teach a "Physics with
Astronomy" BSc degree and an "Astrophysics" MPhys degree.
Most of the teaching happens at the UofL; only in the 4th year is
there some teaching and project work that happens at the ARI.
Students are registered in both Universities and can use all
facilities from each of them. This includes libraries, sport halls,
student unions, pastoral support, etc. And they get two degrees in the
end.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to know more about these degrees.
Alternatively, you can contact our admissions office directly or you can visit the page of the University of Liverpool undergraduate admissions.

If you have access to it, the University of Liverpool Physics Intranet contains a lot of information for students and staff, in particular: Programme Specifications, Module Specifications, Handbooks (students and staff), Timetables, Academic Calendar, Minutes of meeetings (BoSiP, Student-Staff committee, Year committees), past exam papers
