University of Salford Accommodations 2024

For my undergrad, I stayed at student accommodations, but for my master's, I got an apartment with my friends. Always make sure everyone's name is on the tenant agreement.

The admission process was relatively straightforward as I had already completed my undergrad at the same University and applied through the University. I chose Salford because it's in Manchester, and for arts and media students the second campus is located at the heart of MediaCity UK, right next to the BBC. ITV Studios, the Lowry theatre, and the Imperial War Museum are also housed in the same area, with Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, just across the Quays. I would recommend Manchester to arts and media students because of its rich history in the field. The University of Salford has an excellent sprawling main campus as well, which has introduced two new states of the art buildings. Like for any University, there are certain courses and certain departments that might not be up to the required standards. So research the right course before applying. Personally, I enjoyed my time there, and I would recommend it, especially for arts and media students.

Good content in the syllabus, low tuition fees and the availability.

University had accommodation available. However, I did not stay in the university accommodation. I stayed nearby in a hostel/dorm facility where I had a room to myself with an attached bathroom but I was sharing the rest of the apartment (kitchen, common area, etc.) with five other students enrolled at the University of Salford.

I chose the University of Salford for their course provision: Media Psychology. The course was not being offered by other universities.

There are 2 university accomodation option besides many private accomodation within a small radius of the university.

The choice of the University was subject specific as I found staffs and academicians more experts in my field.

I stayed outside the campus. I shared my house with 6 other people where we used to share a single living room and kitchen. Another viable option would be to try for student rooms using the website spareroom.com.

My course is Fraud and Risk Management which is a specialized subject. The University of Salford was the only university in England to combine the subjects of 'fraud' and 'risk management' as a master's. Other universities only offer an MSc in Risk Management.
