history

The oldest forerunner of today's university is the Liverpool Mechanics' School of Arts , founded in 1823 , a grammar school for boys with a technical focus. In 1832 this facility was expanded to include a Mechanics 'Institute for adult education and renamed the Liverpool Mechanics' Institution . In the course of time several other schools and colleges became part of it. In 1970, four institutions - the Regional College of Technology , the School of Art and Design College of Art and Design , the Commercial School and College of Commerce, and the College of Building for Civil Engineering - became a technical college under the name Liverpool Polytechnic joined forces.

In 1992, 33 English polytechnics , including Liverpool Polytechnic, received university status . To distinguish the new university from the University of Liverpool , it was named after the entrepreneur and philanthropist John Moores .

management

The office of the Chancellor ("Chancellor") of the LJMU is exclusively representative; he represents the university on official occasions. From 1999 to 2006 Cherie Blair , the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, held this position, from 2008 to 2013 Brian May , the guitarist of the rock group Queen . May received his PhD in astrophysics at Imperial College London in 2007 and had used the LMJU Liverpool Telescope on La Palma for his dissertation . The office of Pro-Chancellor is also purely representative. LMJU's first pro-chancellor was John Moores' son, John Moores Jr. (1926–2012) from 1992 to 1994. The actual administrative management of the LMJU is the responsibility of the Vice-Chancellor .
