Finance Management

At the VC Scholarship winners meet

Hello all, hope everyone is around. So I have been talking about my studies and life in Manchester all this while and now would like to rewind a bit and go back to those days while I was strongly considering studying at University of Salford. One of the significant reasons for me weighing highly towards Salford University is finances and I hold nothing back when I say this University provides true value for your money. There are several bursaries offered by the University for the deserving students. I am proud to be one of the Vice Chancellor scholarship award recipients which contributed heavily to my finances and through this blog I would like to extend my thanks to the University. Studies are always a major commitment especially when you are aiming for courses like MBA which require certain amount of work experience to be considered for a position in the course. Needless to say how difficult it is to quit your job and break out of your comfort zones for studies. However the decision can be made a lot easier when University offers assistance in the form of scholarships or bursaries. This is exactly what Salford University does to encourage highly talented and potential students. Apart from Vice Chancellor scholarship there are several bursaries available for the deserving student which makes their association with the University completely worthwhile.  So I acknowledge the fact that it is not just the reputation, quality of teaching and location but also the finances which need to be considered before making a choice. Education is an investment and the returns are realized in the long run. The University offering this kind of financial assistance is a major advantage for the students. Especially for merit students possessing excellent academics the Vice Chancellor scholarship is a major boost as it takes care of major portion of the investment required. Students can also support themselves working part time during their studies as there are plenty of options available in Manchester. The city being a metropolitan and a commercial business centre offers a variety of part-time work options for students and I have observed many students utilizing these opportunities to support themselves financially. Being a student and working part time also gives good exposure to the environment here before getting into full-fledged job after the course. That’s it for now and I will see you all in my next blog J
