I’ll cherish each and every moment for the rest of my life
The University of Salford was a place where I ticked dreams off my wish list! As a complete beginner with no experience in my field, I was able to live the dream of experiencing university life abroad and also gain valuable experience to add to my CV.
I studied MA Public Relations and Digital Communications. For this particular course, I had classes in person 2 days per week. Other days I was free to work part-time and explore Manchester.
As a student you have complete freedom to be as innovative and creative as possible. You also have access to state-of-the-art facilities to let your creativity soar.
Although I personally don’t like the rain (and trust me, we receive light showers often in Salford!), lots of my friends love it and it’s hard not to fall in love with Salford’s location. It’s the perfect combination of a beautiful, green campus, but only a 20-minute walk away from the city centre if you fancy the hustle and bustle of Manchester.
Salford is full of new things to learn, new places to visit and new foods to try. Throughout the year, there are little festivals and Makers’ Markets which you’ll fall in love with - if you’re a person who likes that vibe.
No matter where you are, stepping out of your comfort zone and being persistent towards your goal is the best thing to do if you wish to get the most out of studying at Salford.
I came to the UK feeling like a blank canvas, however, my academic experience at Salford, the community I found, the friends I made and the life lessons I’ve learned, have all added bright colours to that canvas. I’ll cherish each and every moment for the rest of my life.
