WHAT’S IT LIKE TO STUDY QUANTITY SURVEYING AT SALFORD? / Our Location Salford is a thriving, diverse centre located at the heart of Greater Manchester. We are surrounded by a rich architectural heritage from the industrial revolution, with fascinating new skyscrapers rising on our horizon. In 2019, we were once again ranked in the QS World Top 100 centres for architecture and built environment study, and with our green campus a mile away from Manchester city centre, you’ll be living in one of the largest property and construction sectors outside of London. / 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. These societies provide likeminded students with a place to socialise, relax and enhance their skills. From competing alongside others in Esports to finding a supportive body in Finance and Investment to assisting your team in designing and building a race car with Formula Salford.
