3 good reasons to study this programme at Salford
Regeneration FdSc/BSc (Hons) Sustainable Communities
“I chose the Foundation degree in Sustainable Communities because it is relevant to the work I do.
I
work in the community as a Health and Fitness Officer; I volunteer for the local boxing club and am also actively involved in obtaining funding for various projects. Salford University was the perfect choice as it offered the course I wanted and is close to where I live.
The course is really enjoyable and is what I expected. I was worried about “keeping up” with the younger students as I am 46 years old but have not encountered any problems. I enjoyed covering the areas of crime and the fear of crime, which included a work book on teenage pregnancy. I work with teenagers and felt that the course has been beneficial to me academically and professionally. I have enjoyed being a student and have made some really nice friends who have supported each other through the course.”
Alison Walters FdSc Sustainable Communities
