STUDY ACROSS THE POND

What’s it like to live and study in England? You could find out! ONU has an exchange program with the University of Salford, a sprawling college campus with about 20,000 students in England’s second-largest city, Manchester. Music majors could spend a semester at Salford learning about recording technology, composing and arranging in contemporary style, and more. You might even see Simon Cowell from Britain’s Got Talent, or cast members from Sherlock walking about the MediaCity UK Campus! Salford musicians also travel to ONU, bringing unique opportunities for collaboration and cross-cultural experiences.
