Occupational Therapy - Extended Route - BSc (Hons)

University of Salford

All the lecturers make small groups within the course and swap them around to give you the best interactions will all students on the course which is good for developing social skills and making your time memeorable. They could host more events in the college to get more students from different courses to be able to interact with each other to broaden connections outside of the course.

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

Generally very good and comprehensive student support. Very dedicated and knowledgeable faculty team with a very well planned and developed course. Improvements could be more affordable and accessible food options

The support that's in place for students is second to none, and the events that are hosted by the universities student union are vast and entertaining. I have rated the facilities as a 3 out of 5 because the parking is not adequate for the amount of students that commute onto campus, it isn't possible for myself to get public transport in, so parking is my only option. A reason I haven't scored the Students' Union as a 5 is because of the sole destroying que which the students form in front of the bar and which the bar staff encourage, there has been multiple times where myself and friends have tried to break this tradition and form a relaxed arch around the bar by standing around it like you would anywhere else and the bar staff have said "there's a que", hence we have stopped using the Students' Union at busy times.

The uni experience is great, best part is meeting new people and learning new things! Advice I would give is to make the most of your time at uni whether it involves joining uni clubs or studying.
