Official University of Salford 2023 Applicant Thread

Hiya @Georgina87,

Ah, fingers crossed for you! Applying for uni is absolutely nerve wracking, I don't blame you for being nervous! Best thing to remind yourself is that everyone is in the same boat - everyone will be nervous, everyone will be waiting to hear back. I always recommend trying to make sure you do something nice for yourself to take your mind off waiting, even if its something as small as making yourself a hot drink and getting cozy!

All the best,
Becky

Thank you again Becky,

I've been focused on getting through my access course and arranging work experience in a hospital with the Radiography department, which I have done finally! Unfortunately at the time I sent my ucas application I didn't want to put anything in my personal statement that I hadn't actually done so I am wondering if that may go against me getting an interview?

Thanks again
Georgina

Hi Georgina,

It’s a difficult one, as it really depends what else is in your personal statement and how strong that is generally (in terms of skills, understanding, other work experience etc) so it’s not really possible to say. Obviously subject specific work experience can add to this (for example, in terms of your understanding of the role and experiences you might have) but you could also have a really strong statement without this. If you do get an interview though, you’ll have the opportunity to talk about your experience at that point 😊

Good luck with your application and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

All the best,

Has anyone else had an interview today for the diagnostic radiography?

Hey @Georgina87,

Think I saw you've posted this in another Healthcare thread and we've had a chat there, but I really hope all went well! Typically we'll begin letting you know within a few weeks of you having your interview what our decisions are, but keep us posted on how things go! Fingers crossed you get the decision you're wanting

All the best!

Thank you Becky,

Still waiting to hear back, still thinking of everything I could have said instead of what I did haha

Got an offer back a few weeks ago after my Broadcast Journalism interview - from what I've seen it, the university looks excellent and is definitely my first choice. I'm Currently studying Politics, Geography and Computer Science with an Extended Project Qualification looking into TV News Bias. I'm from Kent and had never been further north than Birmingham prior to the interview, but was very impressed with the area, especially MediaCity.

A couple of questions about the accomodation at the Peel Park Quarter:

1. How many students share one living area, and does it vary based on room type?
2. Do the rooms have coaxial aerial connections or is the only one by the shared television?
3. Are Chromecasts or smart speakers allowed, because I know some large networks can be a bit iffy with them?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @alfie mulcahy.

Ahhh I'm so glad you enjoyed visiting for your interview are you planning on coming along to an applicant visit day?

Ooooh you have me stumped with your questions - I've definitely never been asked question 2 and 3 before! Your best bet would probably be to contact CLV directly about them - you can give them on a call on +44 (0)161 850 6664 or email them via [email protected].

If you have any more questions, just shout - I might even be able to answer the next ones

Thank you so much for your help. I might come on an applicant day, depending on whether i'm free - it's quite a trek to go up for a single day.

Hi,

I’m looking to stay in peel park in September and am just wondering if there is a date/week it looks like booking will open? Sorry if it has been asked before I just know it’s supposed to be early spring. Thank you!

Has anyone heard back about the Diagnostic Radiography yet? I had my interview 12 weeks ago hahaha
