We talk to BA Marketing (previously BSc Business Management with Marketing) student Becky Leigh about her experience studying at Salford.
This course has introduced me to so many possibilities I never knew were achievable.
Journey to Salford Business School
I chose to study at the University of Salford because it provided opportunities that other universities did not, such as the possibility of attaining a CIM accredited degree. Although it felt somewhat overwhelming deciding where to study, the passion shown by staff ensured me that this was the university for me.
All About the Course
My degree involves a varied range of modules, from data analyis to the curation of campaigns with opportunities and support to actualise them. The course has something for everyone, with endless support and prospects for enhancing your CV.
The assignments often tackle troubles faced by real-world businesses, meaning your concepts have the potential to be actualised with guest speakers. Creative assignments are by far my favourite for this exact reason, considering that’s how I have been able to prove myself as an ideal candidate career wise. And you can too!
I love the diversity of the modules and that they actually contribute to the development of necessary skills for a job in this industry. This course has introduced me to so many possibilities I never knew were achievable. The ability to network is phenomenal, and the work is never boring. I enjoy every aspect of the course.
The highlight for me was the first group assignment, it truly got me out of my shell and introduced me to some of the best people here at Salford. You’ll find yourself surrounded by people who truly want to succeed, and that’s what motivates me every day.
Employability at Salford Business School
Each assignment clearly defines the skills it enhances so it’s easy to strengthen your CV as you go along, but the entirety of the professional development course was directly applicable to the real world. It even provided tools such as a website full of interview tests which equipped me with the skills to pass that stage in the placement process.
Life after Salford
Once I graduate, I’d like to start my own business for adults who miss the whimsical experience of childhood. I’d love to create a space that rekindles that sort of joy, and I’m planning on taking part in a Launch Cohort to help actualise this dream.
Every day I thank my lucky stars that I chose this university above all others.
