"The very first week I attended lectures and seminars I made friends for life, friends from my fellow students and from academics. I have found here an enormous amount of human warmth, inclusion and acceptance. In this supportive and friendly atmosphere, I have grown as a person and as a future professional.
My experience at University of Salford has enriched and empowered my life."
