Section G: Pre-Course Information and Tasks

After your interview and once you have accepted an offer (whether with LJMU or one of our Lead Partner) you will have received an email from education@ljmu.ac.uk confirming your offer and the start dates for your programme. This email will also have included a booklet containing key information and tasks for you to complete prior to starting the programme. A copy of this booklet can be downloaded from this page too. We have left it in Word format so that, if you choose to do so, relevant tasks within it can be completed electronically. You can also click on the useful websites at the end in order to undertake any research required. Please use this booklet to guide you through the pre-course requirements and ensure that you can demonstrate that you have met all your conditions prior to enrolment. Please also complete the tasks required of you, so that you can start your programme confidently in September.

Please can Core (University led) student teachers make sure they complete the Pre-Placement Questionnaire. This will help the Partnership team find the best school placement for you.

Draft Calendars for each 2024-25 programme can be found below. These are to help new students to understand the shape of their programme. They identify key dates and when University and School-based placements are planned. They are draft only and may be subject to change. No arrangements for travel should be made on the basis of these calendars. Individual school holidays vary and we advise students never to book travel until they can confirm the specific term dates for their placement schools.

School-Led calendars normally only show the LJMU and placement elements. ADDITIONAL School-Led training days will be added by your consortium Lead Partner. Please contact them directly for further details.

In order to enrol on your LJMU programme, you MUST meet all conditions. If you have any queries about your conditions, please contact education@ljmu.ac.uk.

Once your offer becomes unconditional, enrolment information will be sent directly to you. It will be sent to the email address held for you by LJMU (found on your application). Enrolment information will be sent by the registry services team at LJMU, to unconditional applicants, from early August onwards, https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/academic-registry/student/registry-services.

You must complete all parts of the on-line enrolment as soon as you are contacted. Once you have enrolled, your LJMU ID card will be posted to the address on your student record. Enrolment is essential. It gives you access to all LJMU on-line learning resources, email etc. and officially registers you on your programme.

There is no need to attend campus in person to enrol.

However, all SCHOOL-LED students must be fully enrolled with LJMU on-line by Thursday 29th August. If you are not enrolled, you cannot start in school.

All PGDE students must be fully enrolled on-line by Friday 6th September. If you are not enrolled, you cannot start the programme or be allocated a school placement.

LJMU Induction for ALL students will take place from Monday to Friday of the week beginning 9th September. You will receive further information about your LJMU Induction and the programme you will follow, once you are enrolled.

School Direct students should contact their Lead Partners to confirm arrangements for the period from 30th August to 6th September.

We look forward to seeing you soon. If you have any queries please contact education@ljmu.ac.uk.
