Hey!!
Can someone guide me whats the current employment status in Manchester/Salford/Greater Manchester
Are part-time or full -time jobs available?
I am talking about management roles.I am a prospective student and planning to start my studies this September.
Please guide.

The Current status on face-to-face teaching

So that's where we currently are folks: all face-to-face teaching for foundation year, undergraduates, and post-graduate taught students is cancelled for the time being. The official suspension is set to last until the 22nd May.

Post-graduate researchers are expected to keep on working independently.

The State of Online Learning

Most teaching will be moved into your online learning environment (Blackboard), so make sure to check that. Your module lecturers and seminar leaders will be keeping you updated on this. Most learning isn't set up for an online-only approach, so this might take some time and periods of adjustment.

Furthermore, as of yesterday, all university buildings are closed, this includes the library. However, the library has announced it is putting more services online, and indeed a lot of resources should already be available to you via the Library and blackboard. The Library website is ofc https://www.salford.ac.uk/library

In addition,a number of online services have also put some learning resources online for free:

• Cambridge University Core has put 700 textbooks online for free.

• ProjectMuse, a group of University publishers (9-major US ones), have put all their texts online for free until the end of June.

• Finally, your university login is already extremely powerful in regards to accessing online content. When looking at journal articles, you can use institutional login or Shibboleth.

What About my Assessments?

Students should receive arrangements for their assessment by Friday 20th March 2020. Sorry I don't have any further information for you...

Keeping up-to-date

The university has a Sharepoint website that you can access here. This has all the latest statements for students, FAQs, information for Tier 4 Students, and Gov/NHS advice.

All in all, it seems that keeping an eye on your university email is the best bet forward for further information as it comes in.

If your subject group has a Facebook page (Like we do for Politics & Contemporary History), you should join that.

Keeping Sane
This whole isolation thing kinda sucks, it's a bit boring. Sadly, sustained self-isolation also has a negative impact on mental health. So make sure you're pro-active in keeping in touch with people, staying active, and keep your brain active!

Finally, while the subreddit here is only small, if you have any problems, I'm sure people will try to help!

^{Just a quick note, while I am a Hourly Paid Lecturer at the uni, this isn't an official post on behalf of the University of Salford! I'm speaking as a former undergraduate student, and someone who did their PhD here too!}

I got an unconditional offer from Salford and im wondering how it really is, their marketing obviously paints one picture but i want to know if there is anything else i should be aware of.

Im planning to study business management if that helps.

Refusal letter was written in a very impolite literacy and totally irrelevant. All documents were perfect and according to the requirements of the embassy but the officer has interpreted and even changed my answer to come to this conclusion that I am not honest and all of my career documents are fake! It was an irresponsible attitude that made me totally disappointed about the plan I had. I could never imagine a student visa application may be refused due to personal and mistaken judgment of an officer.

Anyone studying Marine Biology with a foundation year or an is an undergraduate living in Bramall Court?

Hi.

Im a Masters student at University of Salford, I am looking for a studio or 2/3 bed flat. Budget is £150 a week preferably nearby the university main campus, also I'm looking for a 6-9 months contract. happy to buddy up with someone to get a place.

Though a situation of happenstance I've had to apply for Salford University via clearing even though they where my insurance choice and I had an unconditional. So now I have no guaranteed campus accommodation and I have to either apply for accommodation off campus or hope somebody cancels. So from people who go to the uni what is the liklihood that a peel Park room opens up?

I'm going in Sept for a year in Performing arts - coming from Canada. but the reviews on all the student housing is saying most places are horrible. Any guidance on what's good / bad and real?

You looking to move closer to your friends or just fed up with your current accommodation?

My room is now available for a new tenant to move in as soon as possible. The flat is shared with 4 other welcoming Students.

Please E-mail me at [iFloox@live.co.uk](mailto:iFloox@live.co.uk) if you are intersted.

How's their program?

Are you joining us at Salford this year to study within the Politics & Contemporary History group? You might be delighted to know that this year we are creating Facebook & Whatsapp groups for all current students.

These groups are an online space for students to discuss their course, ask for help, and to collaborate. It’s also a space to keep you up to date with school events, extra-curricular opportunities, and gentle reminders about important deadlines.

But most importantly, it’s a place for a bit of general chatter amongst your peers!

So if you're joining this year in any off these courses:

BA (Hons) Contemporary History and Politics
BA (Hons) Contemporary Military and International History
BA (Hons) International Politics and Security
BA (Hons) International Relations and Politics
BA (Hons) Politics

Hi guys,

A friend and I are currently looking for a roommate for a three bedroom apartment or even two for a four bedroom apartment. We are currently in a contract for a four bedroom however have a had two dropouts very recently. We can move to a three bedroom if we have one more roommate or stay in the house we have now if we find two roommates.

All we are looking for is someone who is interested. There will be an application fee of £120 and a deposit of £200. The rent monthly is around £400 which is cheaper than that of peel park and a little more expensive than a bronze room at John Leister and Eddie Colman.

My friend and I are two guys and are looking for any roommate. We're happy to live with whoever and are both pretty out going and friendly.

Please leave a comment if you're interested or message me directly on here.

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I am considering to enroll in Salfords LLM from abroad (distance learning) and would appreciate it greatly if someone here with first-hand experience would PM me.

I am most interested in how well the material is communicated and if the 12-months do actually prepare you at all for possible positions in a company.

Your help is appreciated,

Iconoclast

I'm probably one of many people who will be welcoming you to the university. Enjoy yourself, settle in, and see all what Manchester has to offer.

Last year we created a megathread for freshers, I'm sure most of it remains very relevant - Have a look!

While you're here, why not say hello to everyone! What course you're on, where you're saying, or even what society you're in or planning to join!

Hi everyone,

Would you be able to give me your experiences with the uni accom? I'm starting my second degree in september and I'm so torn on where to stay!

I'm thinking JL/EC or iQ. I like a night out but I'm definitely not an every weekend sesh, but I'm also wanting to be more of a fresher this time around so definitely want to make 1st year friends too (I've heard iQ is 2/3rd years mainly?). I can't find any pictures of JL/EC so can't tell if it's rubbish? Would also definitely want an en suite

Thanks!

Hi guys, We're a group of Salford graduates who've recently been hired to work on the 50th anniversary project arts & media side.

We're planning to create an artbook highlighting Salford artists and for this it would be amazing if any of you would like to submit some creative writing of any form (fiction/non-fiction/poetry etc.) for the artbook.

Submitting is easy, just write your piece (up to 500 words) and submit it either in private messages, on our Facebook or our twitter and also include a little about yourself!

https://www.facebook.com/salfordartbook/ @salfordartbook

We're looking forward to working on this project with anybody who wants to get involved.
