The University of Salford is an interesting mix. It’s not trying to be something it isn’t, and that’s refreshing. What you get is a proper, grounded Northern university with a strong sense of community. Being right next to MediaCity is a massive plus, especially if you’re in a media-related field; the networking opportunities are unreal. The campus has some historic buildings mixed in with modern facilities.
The teaching is solid, with lecturers who have actual industry experience. You definitely get the feeling they want you to succeed. Salford isn’t perfect; it’s not the most prestigious university in the UK, but it offers a practical education with a focus on getting you job-ready. If you’re after a down-to-earth university experience that’s well-connected to industry, Salford could be a shout.
It was mediocre. I had high expectations from it but it wasn’t good. The University and its facilities were great but the standard of education could have been better. Our classroom was quite big but the number of students were very less.
