WHAT’S IT LIKE TO STUDY ENGINEERING WITH FOUNDATION YEAR AT SALFORD? / Study Support – MathScope MathScope, a dedicated drop-in service, runs throughout each semester and is staffed by our experienced tutors. Designed to provide all students with comprehensive support, MathScope will help you to find solutions to any mathematical or statistical problem you may experience during your studies. / Societies At the University of Salford, we have a range of student-run societies which cover all aspects of student life, from academia to sports, politics to the environment, performance to faith.

Greenpower

Several are linked to our engineering courses – such as Formula Salford and Greenpower who blend engineering and business principles to design, build and promote a race car which is then used to compete alongside other universities – providing likeminded students with a place to socialise, relax and enhance their skills.
