Media Studies degrees in Manchester

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

University of Salford is a great place to study because it offers strong industry connections, modern facilities, and practical learning opportunities that prepare students for real careers. Its location near Manchester provides access to a vibrant city, diverse culture, and many professional networks, while the campus itself offers supportive learning spaces, libraries, and collaborative environments. The university also emphasizes employability through placements, industry-led projects, and partnerships with businesses. However, it could be improved by expanding student support services, increasing study and social spaces during busy periods, and providing more affordable accommodation options to better support students’ wellbeing and academic success.

Overall UCFB, has been a plesasure to attend and a one in a life time opportunity. Staff are very helpful and prepared me more for the industry. I would highly reccomend UCFB, the connections and opporunity to meet with industy experts is second to none.

Best aspect is being so close to the city centre of Manchester. Worst aspect is there being no mixed accomodation to allow an easy way to chat to new people. Most people just sit in their rooms on their own
