Academic support for postgraduate students

This module is a core part of your programme and you will study this module when you first join us at Salford Business School. The Supporting Student Success module supports you as you begin your studies by helping you get used to systems and expectations as a postgraduate student – both for international students and UK students.

The module supports you with:

• Adjusting to academic life
• Understanding assessments and feedback
• Different learning approaches for success

"I’m Elakkiya Govindasamy studying MSc Managing Innovation and Information Technology. As an international student everything was new to me and difficult to understand. I say it from the bottom of my heart that Sami helped me a lot to get to know the way of learning and prepared everybody in Supporting Student Success module to cope with new atmosphere of learning."

Postgraduate students who join Salford Business School will also have access to regular academic support workshops which focus on specific areas of developing our students for success. Some of the key topics include:

• Referencing support
• Report writing
• Paraphrasing and citations
• Research
• ICP support

University life and the transition from undergraduate to postgraduate study can be challenging. Our Postgraduate Mentoring Scheme is designed to ensure a smooth transition for new students into their master's journey.

The scheme connects new master's students with existing master's students for advice and guidance on a range of issues.
