What students say about software-development

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.

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.

What students say about software-development

I have no bad things to say about university they have been amazing. I know that sounds unrealistic but honestly the university has been amazing to me from the kitchen staff the receptionists and the teachers also my peers. I am enjoying my time here. They are making my learning experience amazing. My lecturers have offered and are helping me achieve my academic goals. The library has a wide range of books and the staff are friendly and very welcoming if a book is not available they will find it for you. The university has given a drive I haven’t had in a long time that I can complete the degree to the best of my abilities and also continue to pursue my goals within my own life. I now feel inspired to pursue a career in teaching something I have never considered before I am loving my experience so far and would recommend anyone to give it a go

What students say about software-development

It's a good place for study, but it doesn't have the "uni life" aspects of it so don't expect that. It has good support for student and free counselling. You'll get a more hands on tutoring in smaller classes and it can be really fun. Some of the newer tutors right now are bringing the experience for me down a bit but hopefully that will be improved.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing

What students say about software-development

The best is the students and the amount of resources the university provides. On the other hand, I expected a bigger workload and more classes for the price that I am paying. Since this is my first time studying something in the creative industries, I am not sure how the studies should be like, but it feels like there should be more tests inbetween the assessments and academic pressure.
