What students say about youth-work

Bolton public library is amazing. Easy access to student services, fun events, and the library and campus is great, open after hours. I’ve personally found my course isn’t the most organised, but otherwise I am loving it.

What students say about youth-work

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.

What students say about youth-work

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 youth-work

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

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
