Rachel Brown - BSc Business Management with Economics
"Throughout the delivery of the modules, I was constantly learning new skills, as well as enhancing already acquired knowledge. The University of Salford aims to increase students' knowledge and prepares them to face any obstacles in the future.
As Salford students, we also have unlimited access to the career team, who can guide you in preparing your professional CV and cover letters. They also provide workshops ensuring that all students are well-equipped for their work experience"
Kareem Harb - BSc Accounting and Finance Graduate
"I knew Salford was the place for me quite quickly, probably in the first semester of my first year. After a couple of weeks of attending lectures and seminars, I realised the quality of teaching and support was exactly what I needed throughout my degree.
Salford were very good at offering extracurricular activities that increase employability and helped me get ahead in my career, such as regular workshops where employers would come in and give talks, giving us a chance to network. Lecturers also offered additional support outside of regular teaching times, to help us cement our knowledge and also help us with any other requests."
