Hear from our previous International Excellence Award winner

“I had not planned to apply to Salford originally, but realised that the course fees were far more affordable for me in that period of time. I did my research and found student satisfaction rates to be far higher here as compared to other universities and so I didn't hesitate to apply. Winning the award was a huge thing for me especially since we were going through a particularly rough patch financially." - Sara
