Salford University Graphic Design Con

Advent Calendar

I was talking to a guy who is currently backing Shane Richie in Scrooge. Would he say Shane Richie was a prat to work with? No he most certainly would not. Mind you he wouldn't say that he wasn't either.

Salford University Graphic Design

Let me put this to you. You are a first year Graphic Design student at Salford University. Your parents and the local education department pay the going rate for the course and tuition fees and you take out a student loan of Uk £3,000 for the year. There are 90 students on the course. By my reckoning, the income from 90 students from parental or local education authority funding has to be around half a million pounds Uk per annum. Then you discover that you have exactly one hour a week tuition contact time. That really does sound like easy money to me. In fact it sounds like a confidence trick to me. Where the hell does the money go?

I assume that you go to Salford full of expectation and enthusiasm and then discover that you actually have tuition contact time of one hour a week on a Monday afternoon. No wonder there is a binge drinking problem among students in the UK Mr Blair. Anyone from Salford want to comment here?
