Why is the course name such a mouthful I hear you ask? Well, it has every right to be. The Learning Disabilities Nursing and Social Work (Integrated Practice) programme will see you graduate with TWO qualifications instead of one. Students completing this course will qualify to practise as both a learning disabilities nurse and a […]

Award winner and student Erika took this year’s North West heat of the Chortle Comedy Awards by storm.

From work experience to societies, you will be presented with countless opportunities to try new things. I had a […]
Well… I arrived late to the open day and ended up missing the tour of the accommodation. So it couldn’t have been that. I only had time to have a brief look around the main campus and to grab a coffee from a cafe in one of the university buildings. So it couldn’t have been […]
The great thing about university is that many courses offer the opportunity to go on industry placements, which are a great boost up the employability ladder. As part of the BSc Business and Management course, student Katie Wood is currently taking a year on placement and working for Nissan. Katie was kind enough to sit […]
To make the most out of your university experience, snapping up every opportunity you get to broaden your ideas and find inspiration is super important. A group of Law students recently took up the opportunity to visit Amsterdam and The Hague, which involved having a look around the International Criminal Court and many other insightful and inspiring places. They were kind enough to have a […]
So here we are! Fresh out of the winter months, the clocks will soon be going forward and it will no longer be acceptable to crawl into bed at the dark hour of 5pm. Longer days and 2018’s heat (if we’re lucky) are right around the corner. I decided to take a look at what’s […]
Yes! You read that right. Last week I had the chance to speak all things cancer related with some CATS (volunteers) to find out who they are and how they help people like me and you.

Let’s face it, us students have a popular reputation of not being the richest of people out there – apart from when the student loan drops, but good things don’t last forever. Sometimes we want to enjoy the finer things in life, like being able to get a lil dressy and feeling like the classy […]
WELCOME TO MY WORLD Hey! My name is Emma, I’m in my second year of studying BA Broadcast Journalism here at the University of Salford. I am originally from a small town in Essex, which has a totally different vibe to the fast-paced life of the city. As a Student Social Media Assistant, I’m here […]
Religious or otherwise, staff and students from all walks of life are welcome at the Faith Centre. Although situated on Peel Park campus, I’m still not convinced enough of us know about it and why it is worth a visit. The Faith Centre is a place to practice your religion, a quiet space to study, […]
UCAS exhibitions are great – the ball is in your court as it’s your chance to quiz the universities that take your interest, so why don’t enough of us make the most of it?
