IMPORTANT NOTICES Information you should be aware of when applying to study with us.
This prospectus gives you a broad overview of the types of courses and facilities we offer and all content is correct at the time of going to print (September 2019). We print the prospectus as far in advance of the start of the academic year as possible, to give you an idea of what is available and plenty of time to consider your options. However, this means that changes to the prospectus content will inevitably arise. This prospectus is therefore not intended to provide a definitive statement of the courses and facilities available at the University of Salford. Before deciding to apply, please go to our website for the most up-to-date and detailed course information: www.salford.ac.uk. Alternatively, contact us on +44 (0)161 295 4545 or enquiries@salford.ac.uk As you would expect we have Privacy and Cookies Policies, which apply to the use of our website and which can be found at www.salford.ac.uk/privacy We reserve the right to change the information about courses in this prospectus at any time. Reasons for such changes include, for example: /O ur need to withdraw or change a course or module because we have insufficient student numbers or funding to run it viably or to give the appropriate educational experience. /W e have to respond to unforeseen circumstances outside our control (such as requirements of any governmental, regulatory or professional bodies or the introduction of any new or modified laws or regulations) /W e think the changes are desirable to improve or maintain quality or will enhance the student experience or be otherwise beneficial to students We will give students and applicants who have accepted offers as much notice as possible of any withdrawals of, or significant changes to, courses or modules and will take all reasonable steps to minimise any disruption. Students who are adversely affected by any significant change which was not foreseeable will have the right to switch courses or, in the absence of any suitable alternative, to leave the University and transfer to
another provider. Changes during studies should only happen in very exceptional circumstances. Where they do happen, we will, as far as we are able, assist students with the practicalities of switching. We make every effort to ensure that all changes we make to courses and facilities are detailed on our website as soon as is reasonably practical. In the event of any inconsistencies between information in this prospectus and on the website, information held on the website will prevail. Some courses may have additional fees associated with them, for example for specific materials or field trips. We won’t know the exact amount of these additional fees until closer to the time that they are required. Where appropriate, we have therefore provided an indication of the additional fees required based on costs available at the time of going to print (September 2019). Please keep checking our website for the most up-to-date and detailed information: www.salford.ac.uk We make every effort to assist students in finding placements where they are a requirement of their courses. However, employers have a limited number of placements available and we cannot guarantee that students will have access to the placement of their choice. Students who wish to undertake placements as an optional part of their course are responsible for finding them, but support will be provided (the course information in this prospectus directs you to the applicable course web page where you can find more detail). Following your application for a particular course, you will receive further information from us detailing the terms and conditions which govern your relationship with us. Students are required to comply with the university’s academic and other regulations, rules and procedures. We will hold and process the personal information you provide to us both as an applicant and as a registered student in accordance with our applicable data protection obligations. For further details please see our Students Privacy Policy: www.salford.ac.uk/privacy

For this statement and strategy to be made a reality, effective leadership and management is provided and a corresponding commitment sought from every member of staff and all the student body. In practice this means that we: / a re committed to providing an environment where all people are respected and treated fairly regardless of irrelevant characteristics or distinctions /h ave a culture in which diversity is celebrated / will not discriminate unfairly or illegally against anyone and will take positive action to promote equality and diversity / e mbed equality and diversity at the heart of our mission and values, this will include taking action against individuals who behave in a discriminatory manner For further details please visit: www.equality.salford.ac.uk/listen
