Media Studies degrees in North West England

The people are the best part along with the campus, the courses are taught by amazing staff. There are slight improvements that would help the overall rating but overall it's a good and delightful university

Everyone I have met has been friendly and helpful. There are plenty of societies to join and the student union bar is great for a bit of socialisation on the side. I wish there were more green spaces to sit and quiet areas like the library dotted around. Parking is a bit hit and miss but there's plenty of buses.

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.

I love the well integrated teaching modules aligning with the current employability trend and measures in the organisational world. However. the faculty members can be improved with lecturers on the same array of discipline

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

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

Facilities and campus environment are great. The library is one of the best areas and has a rooftop garden, 24/7 access and a cafe. Ormskirk is a very small town with little to do as a student, however there is a direct train to Liverpool which is not too far.

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.

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

My Course: really good law course with good lecturers, however seminar teaching and small group teaching can be very varied in quality, and often there is not much time for 1/1 support and feedback, especially in assessments. The School of Law and Social Justice put on really interesting career events every single week in the event space to meet employers, and there are lots of opportunities to develop employability such as volunteering at the law clinic. University in general: I love the University campus despite there being a few roads that run though it, it is a nice place to be and there is a community feel when you walk around campus, everyone feels welcome and there is always something going on. Student support is not the best, it takes ages to get an appointment, if you even get one, but once you have reasonable adjustments in place then things are generally okay. The Guild of Students: The guild feels like a second home at Uni, it is a very welcoming space that you can go to for whatever occasion, and there is always something going on there as well.
