Academic progression

Hi.

I should be starting an International Relations and Politics course at Salford in two weeks time, but i've read a number of disheartening reviews which claim Salford has a reputation of roughness (which is not so much of a concern - i'm used to that now) and more importantly that academic progression, after a degree has been recieved, is somewhat limited.

Could anybody who has qualified from the University possibly give me some opinion on this? I was hoping to continue on to an Intelligence and Security MA and thereafter the Navy, I wouldn't want to find myself bogged down because employers don't consider Salford to be of any decent repute..


Personally, from what i've seen, the University looks fantastic, and I do hope thats not just very good marketing.

Salford usualy does pretty well when it comes to employment statistics and since its been a university since 1967 the MOD type places will recgonise it.
