University Of Salford, Salford Ranking 2025 from QS, THE & US NEWS

While I was there PSW wasn't open at the time. So employability was limited, especially for arts and media graduates. But it has changed since then.

The admission process was relatively straightforward as I had already completed my undergrad at the same University and applied through the University. I chose Salford because it's in Manchester, and for arts and media students the second campus is located at the heart of MediaCity UK, right next to the BBC. ITV Studios, the Lowry theatre, and the Imperial War Museum are also housed in the same area, with Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, just across the Quays. I would recommend Manchester to arts and media students because of its rich history in the field. The University of Salford has an excellent sprawling main campus as well, which has introduced two new states of the art buildings. Like for any University, there are certain courses and certain departments that might not be up to the required standards. So research the right course before applying. Personally, I enjoyed my time there, and I would recommend it, especially for arts and media students.

Good content in the syllabus, low tuition fees and the availability.

I chose the University of Salford for their course provision: Media Psychology. The course was not being offered by other universities.

I am a PhD student hence doesn't opt for placement visits. Although there are ample of support from the doctoral school to ensure attending research conferences and seminars.

The choice of the University was subject specific as I found staffs and academicians more experts in my field.

The University provides work placement/internship support to the students. I have received this support to do an internship with Salford City Council (UK local government).

My course is Fraud and Risk Management which is a specialized subject. The University of Salford was the only university in England to combine the subjects of 'fraud' and 'risk management' as a master's. Other universities only offer an MSc in Risk Management.
