Hey, I’m Josh, a third-year student at the University of Salford studying Television & Radio Production. I’m very passionate about social media and I can’t wait to get started as a Student Social Media Content Creator.

Why Salford?

Growing up, I always used to sit in front of the TV or listen to the radio on snow days thinking “I want to work there” in some capacity. When I was researching my university options through UCAS, Salford’s campus at MediaCity (home of the BBC and ITV) really appealed to me. Even now, getting the bus to my lectures every morning and walking past these buildings is very surreal- I wouldn’t change a thing.

What do I love about Salford?

I’ve loved the opportunities the university has given me. Throughout my time here, I’ve had the chance to work at some amazing companies, and I believe I’ve grown so much as a person since starting here.

Another reason I chose Salford is the social aspect. There’s lots to do in Salford itself, but Manchester city centre is only a short walk or bus ride away if you want to experience the hustle and bustle of town during your free time. I’m a big fan of music, so I personally love going into record shops and browsing through their collections, hopefully finding something from my favourite artists! Musicians come on tour to Manchester all the time, so there’s always a chance your favourite may make an appearance soon.

I can’t wait to see what my final year brings, and I can’t wait to showcase Salford to you as a Student Social Media Content Creator.
