The Liverpool Mechanics Institute was founded by people of power and influence who recognised the transformative effects of education and the impact that learning and aspiration could have on individuals, communities and society. It was the first such institution to be founded in England. This small, pioneering movement was followed by the establishment of the Liverpool Institute and School of Art and the Liverpool Nautical College, and in 1900 Irene Mabel Marsh opened the IM Marsh campus. These organisations together laid the foundations for Liverpool John Moores University, an institution that has grown and flourished and continues to provide opportunities for all. Today, with a vibrant community of 25,000 students from over 100 countries world-wide, 2,500 staff and 250 degree courses, Liverpool John Moores University is one of the largest, most dynamic and forward-thinking universities in the UK. The Intelligence and Security Studies programme is delivered and validated by the Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies at Liverpool John Moores University. The university combines professionally recognised qualifications with innovative and socially orientated courses. The centre has an outstanding reputation for research, with academic staff contributing regularly to industry journals, advisory groups, governmental policy, as well gaining regular public exposure through the press and broadcast media. LJMU are committed to lawful and ethical standards in all of our programmes and adheres to the principles of the European Court of Human Rights and ethical policing and security practices, as defined by the College of Policing's Code of Ethics 2024 and the Human Rights Act 1998. We are committed to upholding the principles of human rights and ethical conduct in all aspects of our teaching. These principles are implicit throughout the teaching and learning on the programme and explicitly taught during relevant modules.
