The campus facility is fine. 54321 Reasonable support from the careers department for onward study or placement/graduate jobs.
I love Salford it’s so social and the environment is very friendly. It’s allowed me to thrive and grow as a person.
Student union isn't that helpful with the societies
Appealing student support during staff strikes
Amazing service and amenities at the university. The lecturers are great and bend over backwards for you!
I’ve loved my time here it’s such a great place the facilities are great and the staff and lecturers are so supportive and lovely there’s really good diversity so many social clubs and societies
The university is fairly good. Some lectures are better than others, however they all get the job done. Wifi in some buildings can be a little temperamental. The Student Union is a nice place to go with friends and he Clubs/Societies are a great way to get involved and meet new people.
Great university and facilities. Course content not as satisfactory.
It perfoms it's function at the minimum expected
Great university, great people
Being a student at the University of Salford has been nothing but an amazing experience. The university has so much to offer and everyone is always willing to help you! Most of my classes are based at Media City. The campus at Media City has top notch facilities and so much for you to learn and grow! Being a student here has certainly boosted my level of confidence and I cannot wait to see what the industry has in store for me when I graduate!
Great place of study, the campus WiFi isn’t the best
Love the university, everything is efficient. My lecturers on my course in particular have been amazing and always help when needed. The famous itself is perfect.
I loved the uni. All the staff want you to succeed and will do their best to help you during your studies. The campus itself is beautiful with historic buildings and even a museum on campus. Close to Manchester City centre and transport routes
If I could choose again, I would pick University of Salford over and over and over again. I’m having such a beauty of an experience here and many other international student would agree with me.
Overall the University is good. The Campus is nice and the staff are fine. However they do not have any support for international students specially when it comes to help with cost of living. Every service that they have is basically and mainly for home students. It is disappointing to see that as an international you have To be worried for simple things while home students get all the help and support they need.
although my experience was heavily impacted by the covid19 outbreak and I missed out on a lot of inductions and tutorials, I had a relatively good time in this university, I broadened my horizons, learned new things and I am now ready to graduate this summer. Overall I am satisfied with all the facilities and help provided to me by the university.
An exciting and fun place to study.
Had a great first year here, Learnt a lot and had great fun
Really good experience and good fun
The support at the university is amazing. There are many opportunities to take part in and that can be added to your CV.
Good place good people nice atmosphere
I have had a very good experience at this university
University of Salford has been really great. I love the school fees rate and the facilities
Loved my time at the university and I will miss it
Really good staff and good location when it is near shops.
Night staff are amazing and the social events are good
Offers an incredible university experience!! The students union plays an active role in the student experience and will go above and beyond to ensure everyone enjoys their time at uni! There’s a great range of clubs/ societies to join, and the facilities are truly excellent!
More student support needed and cheaper meal options
I do the swimming club and I love it! I just love it there's lots of opportunities for competitions and its only 90 quid per year and you get a cap and 3 races. E.g in BUCS. the SU also has events every night and food and drink is a brill price I love it there, love the bar staff too. My inbox is full of careers opptunities and emails about apprnitships/sponsorships regarding my holistic course e.g I do marine bio so I get all the emails about science and engineering carrers opps. The WiFi is mostly good but some buildings just like... have no WiFi or bars. We have to register online every lesson for attendance so that's been a bit of a hassle. Also I don't don't many teaching hours at all per week and I finished in like April so I've not done much marine bio - there's been a good amount of trips though. Therefore I will knock off half a star (want more lessons!!! Or hmwk or Something) 4.5 stars overall. Will come again next year CAN'T WAIT! would reccomend salford uni for science :)
I wish I could review the accommodation, it was a lot better than the uni itself, as I felt quite difficult to find friends or find events that I could go to to find them. As an autistic student, I have to say that the overwhelming nature of uni-life was not something I was ready for. Unfortunately for a large part of my year I had no disability support and as a result of this lack of support, I must retake my year.
It’s alright. Could be better than it is now
Facilities in the media city campus were shut down on numerous occasions. While it wasn’t directly their fault you wonder what any of your money goes towards. Very little to no mental health support until you absolutely fight for it yourself (which is hard to do if you’re feeling really down) but good quality kit for camera’s etc for film courses. Just wish half of it worked. Also had a limited experience due to covid so feel I cannot give a fair judgement. One single student shop with very limited hours. The course itself (film production) struggled with some teething problems. Library is good. Enjoyed my time at the uni but purely for the social aspects.
great lecturers and accessible buildings overall great first year so far
Secure campus with security 24/7. Get the occasional annoying kids around uni but the often they get asked to behave. Library with 24/7 which is brilliant and it has a book for everything! Student shop is bit rubbish, very expensive and open short hours. Has options to use electric bikes and the lime scooters. Overall very clean and secure campus.
Love the university! there is always something you can do or somewhere u can go, there are also many support groups especially for students who have learning difficulties. Friendly staff everywhere !
Fine as a university, my course structure and staff were not satisfactory. Leaving after this yeat
I enjoyed uni at times, although as a disabled student with plans in place, this was never taken into consideration, unless I raised this which was often embarrassing and caused me anxiety.
Everything is really close. Proper campus feel. Only 30 minute walk to the city centre. Amazing facilities and technology.
I didn’t get the chance to join any societies or know many people that did
It's a really good layout for a university, with lots to do both on campus and off. The WiFi is a little questionable at times, but still does it's job
came to Salford to study podiatry and couldn't be happier with my choice, the uni is extremely welcoming and friendly with staff going above and beyond to help students whenever they need it. The facilities are outstanding for academic purposes and transport between different campuses is fairly hassle free. Overall an excellent experience so far
Facilities are great, especially in newer buildings. The campus is safe, and green spaces are well located.
Really fun place to study, the people you’ll meet and the memories you’ll make here are really special. The lecturers and staff seem to enjoy their job and are always friendly, helpful, and accommodating to any issues you may have. The student union is great too, hosting events every week and serving fairly cheap and nice food (get the katsu fries!) the uni is well placed too, with a very big park only a minute walk from the student union.
I’m currently at the end of my second year and I have 1 year left. If I’m honest, when I’m done I’ll miss it here. I’ve made some amazing friends and I really have enjoyed my time at uni here. I’m not a “go out every night” type of student, so I spend a lot of time on and around campus and I’ve loved every minute!
The University of Salford is the epitome of the university money making scheme designed to draw students in offering them teaching and great qualifications, but instead you are met with a university that meets the bare minimum requirements of what it has to do and does not care for its staff or students. Whilst some of the staff are lovely, most are here for the pay and ability to write books about their respected fields with teaching becoming a chore on top of this, which is clear through the lack of outdated modules and little to no contact from them or the university outside of teaching. Students are here for one reason and one reason only, money.
My experience at the uni so far has been better than I expected, but a few issues like bullying they don't tend to deal with. But if you miss one day due to being extremely ill you're flooded with phone calls and emails threatening to boot you out. Nice friendly atmosphere though with great access to local amenities.
I am enjoying my time at university but if i was gonna complain about anything it'd probably be the societies, 95% of them are sports related. I understand sport is extremely popular but theres also alot of people, like myself, who dont like sports or aren't involved in any. I would like to see a more diverse range such as crafting, and maybe music, tv and games, anything else really
Had a great time in first year can’t wait to get started on the second
Anyhow studying in Salford university will make me pleasure giving good services though .
My course is super fun and the lecturers are harsh but helpful sometimes
Good campus with some activities and a generally upbeat environment
Student Union barley has any diversity in regard to music and culture. Overall beautiful campus and great sports hall
The University of Salford is an institution that I would recommend to anyone. The school has a lot of resources to help each student succeed in their academic journey and career.
For my course, its probably the best in the country. Great location and facilities. Good staff. Probably needing more study spaces at MediaCity
Good! Student store on peel park campus should be cheaper as it is very expensive even tho it’s aimed at students
There are many open areas on the campus to socialise or work. The park is also a good place for the more outdoorsy people.
I had the pleasure of completing my Masters at Salford Business School. The topics covered throughout the different courses were up-to-date and based on real-life cases.
It's not the worst. The course I attend is okay and I have gotten a lot out of it.
It's average, nothing special, but not bad
The staff here are so nice! anything I need help with they are always there for me!
I’ve had a great experience so far as a first year at the university of Salford. The accommodation staff are friendly and the students around campus are friendly too. It has a very warm and welcoming feel. The flats are of high standard and are secure
I like the campus because it makes me feel safe. The rooms are really nice and the staff are good with support.
Good accommodation with friendly staff and very safe campus
I love being a student at the University of Salford!
Really nice staff who are alwaying willing to talk and help you out ❤️
Fun uni, terrible wifi unfortunately
I really like the atmosphere that is created in the student union and themed nights
University of Salford is a really great place to study and learn. I have made so many friends and love student life!
University of Salford has many facilities available to students
great uni, nice park next to it, decent labs and mostly lovely lecturers
Great uni, a little bit could be improved hear and there though
Great university with new modern buildings and great professors that are great at relaying information and passion.
Great university with excellent facilities available
Good experience. Nice campus.welcoming
Good facilities, campus and learning resources available, blackboard is useful for accessing materials at home.
The university of Salford is a great university who give people a chance. The support over covid lacked and it could be better however, overall good experience.
Honestly, the best move I could have made to support my career! I can’t speak of the tutors highly enough in their support of my training! All round safe friendly environment where you are the most important part!
Many of the lecturers are racist. They discouraged me because they have low expectations for black students. The only support I got was from other students and my personal tutor. My experience has traumatised me. I regret studying at this uni. I wish I went to MMU. I dont recommend it
Salford is like my home away from home. So welcoming with a diverse range of students from different backgrounds with lots to teach and learn. Well-being is top priority here with adjustments made for those who need extra support. Also these adjustments are made without any judgement with each module leader being notified about any adjustment plan in place for a student. The societies are great which provide a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends. Facilities such as study rooms all over both campuses make for a great way to do group study or prep for a group presentation/project. Finally, there are many career linked opportunities to get involved with academics genuinely and happily encouraging students to get involved for their own benefit. In some departments such as Biomedicine, the staff go out of their way to find extracurricular opportunities for students to take advantage of. Academics are really open to helping students where they can.
Studying in salford is amazing, they are open to international students and we have all the resources we need
Really great here, fantastic facilities, loads of green space and top notch accommodation.
Lovely open space. Pretty friendly people. Definitely recommend coming on an Open Day. See what career options that can be supplied to you. Take advantage of every event regarding your academic.
The experiences at the university is amazing and you can turn for help at anytime.
UOS is a wonderful institution with some seriously tenured lecturers. I started at the university undertaking a foundation year which lead me down the path of organic chemistry - with the help of my peers and my lecturers, I am now about to complete my bachelors and begin a masters. For chemistry, the university is well equipped with large scale laboratory spaces sporting modern equipment and a vast array of reagents. The staff at the university have always been friendly and willing to help out if I had any questions. My lecturers in particular have gone miles beyond what you would expect and for that reason my experience here has been of the utmost quality!
Salford has been enough but not a lot more, very good for those that can do things by themselves but support is not an easy or useful think 50% of the time
Helpful and supportive staff. Defiantly recommend
Nice campus and overall a good University, the careers service is very helpful, the student union is a top place to go, and the library is good for studying.
Very limited due to Covid circumstances
University have been more than accommodating with my medical issues and have assisted me anyway they can
Great uni but some services are hard to get a hold off and you struggle to use the WiFi.
Haven't experienced too much of the campus due to the pandemic, but will come back to update this. My friends are having a blast in accommodation though (MediaCity)
My university is amazing they still are offering help with Everyone
Great university from my current experience. Good help through covid.
The university severely lacks organisation and communication. They appear to be too busy advertising themselves on social media instead of providing students with relevant information. Everything is last minute, some departments don't even provide a personal timetable so students are left to essentially make their own. Tutors are extremely bad at communicating with students and many are clearly lacking teaching qualities. If I could go back in time and advise myself to study elsewhere I certainly would
Great teaching, helpful lecturers!!
Does not feel like a university at all
Very great facilities with lots of green spaces.
Fantastic university definitely would recommend studying here
Students union good but actual teaching staff are incredibly unhelpful, if I get my degree it'll be a miracle Careers staff haven't even helped with planning post-university struggles
