The university focuses more on evidence-based public health and deals more with the root cause (the determinants) than just trying to find solutions. This has given me an insight into how to get better outcomes by tackling the imbalances that gave rise to these health challenges and has also exposed me to a range of important issues that are currently affecting public health practice both nationally and globally.

Choosing Salford, Greater Manchester, as a place to live and study has been a wonderful experience. First, cultural diversity makes life easier for international students like me. Everything you need is always just around the corner. Manchester also hosts two of the biggest football clubs in England, Manchester United and Manchester City, and I have been to both stadiums. This is another reason for choosing Manchester for my studies.
