STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMME

If your university is not partnered with Salford or if you are studying at one of our partner universities which does not have an agreement for your subject area or there is a limit on the number of places available, you can apply to join us via our Study Abroad programme.

The city of Salford is in the heart of Greater Manchester, our main campus is located just 2km from Manchester city centre, a short walk from world-class music, sport, nightlife, food, shopping and culture. You’ll be joining one of the largest student communities in Europe, with around 100,000 total students across Greater Manchester.

On campus itself we have the Sports Centre, where facilities include a 25 metre swimming pool with spa and sauna, a fitness studio with strength and conditioning rooms, and multi-use sports hall for badminton, basketball, netball and five-a-side-football.

Salford’s Chapel Street, just a few minutes’ walk from main campus, is home to a growing number of independent outlets including veggie favourite, Italian and Spanish restaurants.

In Manchester’s Northern Quarter, a twenty minute walk, you can find quirky diners, canteens and cafes – serving huge breakfasts, mouth-watering meat and veggie burgers, delicious home-made cakes and traditional British pies.
