University of Salford: Open Day Guide October by University of Salford

4 OCTOBER

OUR NOTHINGOFFLIMITSDAY

On behalf of all the staff and students at today’s Open Day, we’d like to wish you a very warm welcome to the University of Salford!

During your Open Day, you can explore our campus and see where you could be living and studying; meet your future teaching staff and chat to current students about Salford life.

You’ll also see the impact of our continued investment into our campus including our £65 million Science and Engineering building, Energy House 2 – a world-leading research facilityand our new Health Clinic which is also under construction at our Frederick Road campus.

We’re here to help you transition to university life, wherever you come from and whatever your background. From academic support to wellbeing, student finance to accommodation, we’ll be with you each step of the way, so you can become the very best you can be. As we’d say, Unstoppable.

As a student at the University of Salford, please make sure you get involved with the wider opportunities you’ll be offered to make the most of your time here. We’ll help get you ready for work.

We build relationships with industry leaders like Morgan Sindall, Morson Group and the BBC, which allow us to offer fantastic opportunities for you to learn skills outside of the lecture theatre, including live briefs, internships and placements.

The Turing scheme can help you find an international work or study opportunity and many of our courses have a full year work placement option, so make sure you ask about how you can take advantage of everything we have to offer to benefit you during your time with us.

Our courses and facilities are designed to meet the needs of industry, and many are taught by current and former practitioners who bring their real-world skills and connections to help you make your first strides into your chosen career.

As you explore our campus today, we hope that you’re inspired by the enthusiasm and expertise of our staff, the passion of our students, and the firstrate facilities on offer.

OUR CAMPUS

Our Open Days take place across our three campuses, including MediaCity. The campuses are just a short distance away from each other and the location of your subject presentation and facilities tour will depend on the course you are interested in. You can find out where each course is based on pages 8-29.

We know that if it’s your first time visiting us, it might feel a bit daunting trying to find your way around. You’ll find our friendly Student Ambassadors dotted about the campus ready and willing to point you in the right direction, as well as our staff at the check-in points.

PEEL PARK CAMPUS

Our Peel Park campus is home to Salford Business School, our School of Science, Engineering and Environment and our New Adelphi building houses the art, design, music, performance and fashion subjects taught in our School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology.

FREDERICK ROAD CAMPUS

All our health and social sciences courses are taught on our Frederick Road campus. It hosts a range of different facilities including simulation suites for our nursing and midwifery courses, a radiography centre, human performance laboratory and working clinics for podiatry, prosthetics and orthotics and sport and rehabilitation.

MEDIACITY

As the home of TV, digital and creative busineses in the north, including the BBC and ITV, our MediaCity campus is home to our media, gaming and journalism courses within the School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology.

CAR PARKING

If you’re travelling by car to our Open Day and your course of interest is based at our Peel Park campus you can find car parking at Irwell Place car park (M5 4WT) or Lowry and Delaney car parks (M5 4NJ).

If your course of interest is based at our Frederick Road campus, we also recommend using Irwell Place car park (postcode M5 4WT) on our Peel Park campus.

LIFE OUTSIDE THE LECTURE

THEATRE

From music, culture and art to sport, shopping and food, you’ll never run out of things to do outside of the classroom. Lucky for you, we have two cities just waiting to be discovered and explored. Here’s a quick overview of why we love Salford and Manchester…

CULTURE AND ART

At Salford Quays you will find The Lowry, named after the Salford artist LS Lowry, with permanent displays of his work as well as a temporary exhibition programme and a theatre hosting a dynamic range of plays, immersive experiences, comedy shows, dance performances and family activities. The Quays and Media City also have a lively programme of events – from the LightWaves festival in December through to We Invented the Weekend in the summer.

Islington Mill, just a ten minute walk from Peel Park campus, is home to radical, subversive music and visual arts, with an eclectic mix of events and exhibitions to inspire and surprise you.

HOME, located in central Manchester is more than a cinema: it’s Manchester’s centre for international contemporary art, theatre and film, complete with a bar and restaurant. We’re proud to be founding partners of HOME, which opens up opportunities for students such as gaining direct industry involvement in the curriculum on relevant courses.

Want to enjoy your culture even closer to home?

Our campus is home to New Adelphi Theatre, a 350-seat theatre which hosts a range of events, from side-splitting comedy to ground breaking dance projects and big band entertainment, involving both our own students and external companies.

Salford Museum and Art Gallery and the Working Class Movement Library feature both historic collections and a vibrant programme of contemporary exhibitions and events for all ages. Festivals feature also on our Peel Park campus –with the annual Sounds From The Other City music Festival every May and Pink Picnic in June.

SHOPPING

Ever wonder where Mancunians get their unique street style? The Northern Quarter is home to the best independent, vintage and boutique shops, as well as Afflecks, with four floors of alternative fashion. You can find all your high street favourites in Manchester Arndale centre, and designer labels in the city centre. The Trafford Centre is also just a short bus or tram ride away.

FOOD AND DRINK

We admit it, we’re a bunch of foodies here and you can experience all types of cuisine at Salford and Manchester’s many food establishments.

MUSIC

Salford’s Chapel Street, just a few minutes’ walk from main campus, is home to a growing number of independent outlets including authentic Italian pizza at Vero Moderno, freshly made tapas at Porta and beautiful cakes and artwork at Kith and Kin.

In Manchester’s Northern Quarter it’s all about quirky diners, canteens and cafes, whilst the city’s Chinatown is the second biggest in the UK, with a host of Chinese, Korean and Japanese restaurants, as well as a number of speciality supermarkets. Just outside of the city centre you’ll find Rusholme’s famous ‘curry mile’ offering Indian, South East Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Make sure you also visit Central Bay at Salford Quays, the city’s new waterfront foodie destination with 20 different independent kitchens, microbrewery, live music and more.

SPORT

The Manchester music scene is more than Morrissey and Madchester (although Bez does still make an appearance now and again). Whatever your music taste, you’ll never be stuck for gigs in the city.

Catch the biggest national and international acts at Manchester Arena, Co-op Live, the Apollo and Manchester Academy, and see your favourite indie and underground artists at Northern Quarter venues Night and Day and Soup Kitchen. Manchester’s alternative music scene still roars, with gigs at Rebellion, the Star and Garter and DIY venue Partisan.

The University itself has been host to a range of great artists over the years as well, from The Who in 1968 and Status Quo in 1972, to The Smiths in the 1986 and Pulp in 1992. We’re currently making plans to re-develop Maxwell Hall so it can play host once more to the stars of the future!

We’re home to two of the biggest teams in football, Manchester United and Manchester City (the Students’ Union offers discounted tickets to some matches!) as well as Lancashire County Cricket Club at Emirates Old Trafford. Sportcity at the Etihad Campus houses the National Cycling Centre and Velodrome, the National Squash Centre and regional Tennis Centre.

If you like your sports a little less theatre of dreams and a little more grassroots, Manchester and Salford are also home to a community of active and enthusiastic non-league football teams, as well as rugby, hockey and roller derby teams. You can even try your hand at outdoor swimming at Salford Quays, next to our MediaCity campus.

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-sidefootball. You can also take part in local organised runs, such as parkrun at Peel Park.
