Working with a professional sports team is a goal many people aim to achieve. A goal that Grace has had since she decided to study BSc (Hons) Sports Science at the School of Health and Society. Thanks to industry-focused modules with the University, Grace has been able to tick this off her list, as she was […]
Earlier this month, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting PhD student Sajedeh (Maryam) Mollasalehi who is taking her career from strength-to-strength while studying at Salford. Not only has Maryam travelled the world, presenting her work at internationally renowned conferences, she’s also made a name for herself as a prominent member of our SoBE community. Oh, […]
BA Journalism with Public Relations was introduced to our School of Arts and Media for the first time this September. As a BA Broadcast Journalism student, I wanted to know what life as a student was like on the course and see whether I could learn anything from chatting with our debuting class. From the […]
Whilst I always understood that my days as a student were never going to be the most affluent of my life – I’d never envisaged myself ending up on the streets of Manchester on a bitter night in November. Through choice I should probably add. My night on the streets of this fantastic city was shared with […]
In my latest blog post we’re welcoming back a familiar face! Ryan Gerrard has previously graced Made in Salford when he met student blogger Ryan to talk about his experience studying MSc Digital Marketing at Salford Business School. As part of his master’s degree, Ryan took on a 6 month placement at Hopewiser and now works within […]
Ari Khoshnaw is currently studying MArch Architecture at our School of the Built Environment, who’s grabbing every opportunity with both hands. Ari and I met to discuss the phenomenal adventures he’s embarked on in the last six months. Not only has he been lucky enough to enroll in a summer school state-side, but he was also selected to […]
As some of you may know, I’ve spend the last few weeks being ridiculously excited about the Manchester Science Festival. So much in fact that I’ve had to share some of this excitement to spare bursting at the seams. The fantastic person who saved me from my own enthusiasm was none other than our very […]
After graduating from BA Television and Radio in 2009, Sam Jones found himself in a difficult situation after the 2008 recession had absorbed a huge amount of media jobs in the North West. Unemployed and needing an income, Sam enrolled on a council-funded master’s program, which saw him placed into multiple work experience placements. After this year long opportunity came to a close, Sam […]
So apparently, outdoor swimming is the newest trend to take Salford by storm. Naturally I had to throw myself in the deep end (excuse the very-much intended pun) to see what the fuss is all about. During a welcome talk that I attended when I first started university, I was told by my course leader […]
Adam Frith, Larisa Covaciu, and James Lawson have all recently graduated from BA Animation after experiencing perhaps one of the most exciting final years of university that an animation student could wish for. After being approached by TransPennine Express (TPE), who were looking for a series of short animations to show on-board their trains, the […]
Cheryl Parker, Maria-Larisa Covaciu and Sean Jones are among some of the most driven student’s I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They have just completed their third and final year of BA Animation, and have had a year brimmed with professional highs and personal achievements. To complete their final year, they had to create a […]
We’ve all had a little tizzy at some point in our life when we’re asked to talk about, or take our finances seriously. If you can say that you’ve never been in a state of complete bewilderment, or felt unsure about what you should do with your money, then you’re either a financial advisor or […]
I am a true believer that we don’t give ourselves enough time to sit and ponder about life. I think its healthy to sit and simply think, as opposed to rushing into the next thing. I was thinking of how my summer is planned, almost to the hour it seems, and how I’ve had no […]
I’m no recruitment guru, but even I can tell you how important it is to have a CV that outshines your competitors. Whether you’re going for the role of CEO at a multinational tech corporation, or a week of work experience at your local scaffolding firm, you’ll need your first impression to be exceptional. With […]

Lee is currently freelancing at ITV in London as a warm-up act for the audience at Loose Women, amongst many other things! I was lucky […]
Paul Wilshaw has a career spanning 15 years in digital innovation, during which he’s developed a rather impressive CV, to say the least. Paul is currently Head of Innovation for Barclays UK Ventures, and has been working for the community development branch of the banking giant for two years. Alongside his full-time job, Paul decided […]
Ryan has just finished his first year of BA Film Production at our School of Arts and Media. Ryan became a recipient of the ‘BFI Ones to Watch’ Award just four months into his degree, an opportunity that has seen his work entered into multiple film festivals around the country. I caught up with him to talk about […]

This year, Neeraj took part in the CIOB Global Student Challenge, which saw him and his team of three other SoBE students take on high […]
As someone who is indecisive by nature, choosing which university I was going to attend was the single most challenging thing I’ve done. It’s up there with the parallel park on my driving test, and deciding between ‘jet black’ and ‘space grey’ for my most recent iPhone. While it felt at the time as if […]
We must stop meeting like this! I hope you’re all having fun and are finding some time to relax in the build-up to these academically challenging times. My latest ‘fad’ is trying things that aren’t necessarily to my taste (or so I thought). I don’t mean like mushrooms and sprouts, I mean actual activities. I’ve done another […]
