What students say about area-studies

I think Salford’s a great place to study because it’s really focused on helping students prepare for real jobs. The uni has strong links with different industries, so you’re not just learning theory, you actually get to see how it applies in the real world. The campus has some really good facilities too, especially the SEE Building and MediaCity — they give you a sense of working in a professional environment. And the people here are friendly. The lecturers are easy to talk to and actually care about how you’re doing.

What students say about area-studies

The staff, peer guides, students etc... Have been very supportive! They help whenever they can and provide the necessary information to succeed. The lectures halls and class rooms and labs are very well maintained, everyone is punctual, they are very good at communication and answering follow up questions. Overall the staff and people at MMU are the highlight of the university overall. However some things that would need to be improved on is the washrooms. They're quite small and often extremely wet or sometimes dirty. This is not the case every where or in every washroom however it seems to be a pretty consistent thing regarding bathrooms. I understand and appreciate the cleaner and staff are doing their best though, and it's a mainly student on student issue. However the general size of the bathrooms is small, especially the ones near the stairwells.
