The University of Salford formed from a merger of technical colleges and institutes, created to educate and train a growing workforce. With a past entrenched in industry, the university have continued to build on its principles of getting students work-ready. Since receiving the Royal Charter in 1967, the university have become a truly global institution that serves the needs of industry, commerce and education.

The university offers a range of study options for international students, including foundation years, undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications. Students can be confident that a degree from Salford is more than just a certificate, it will guide them into their chosen career.

From events and activities to clubs and societies, the Students’ Union has it all, and it’s a great way to meet new people across the University. The SU also runs Atmosphere bar and café, offering a place to relax with friends, as well as a great range of food and drink at affordable prices. The bar also hosts DJ's, pub quiz and karaoke nights, sports screenings and other events.

Joining a club or society is another great way to make new friends with people who share similar passions and interests, and there are over 50 student-led societies for students to get involved with. From dance to kayaking, debating to comedy, there’s something for everyone, and even if students can’t find one for their particular interest, the SU can support them to start their own.

The University of Salford is located across three campuses, Peel Park, Frederick Road and MediaCityUK.
