Milly Karabedian – BSc Business Management with Marketing

"I enjoy lots of aspects of my course. One of my favourite elements are the discussions the seminars create, getting us to think and debate. This helps to develop my critical thinking skills, which are key to writing my assignments. The seminars are also a great way to make friends with my peers and get to know my lecturers better.

I would describe my experience at the University of Salford as eye-opening and dynamic, filled with exciting challenges and opportunities that have helped me grow both academically and personally."
