OPEN DAYS
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.
Today’s Open Day will allow you to find out more about the University, hear about your course of interest, chat to our staff and students and ask any questions you might have about student finance and how to apply.
As a student at the University of Salford, you’ll be given the opportunities to make the most of your time here, and the support you need to seize those opportunities. From teaching 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.
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.
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 the most of your postgraduate studies.
As you explore our University today, you’ll 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 facility, and our new North of England Robotics Innovation Centre.
We hope that you’re inspired by the enthusiasm and expertise of our staff, the passion of our students and the range of opportunities available to you if you choose to study at Salford.
