WHAT’S IT LIKE TO STUDY BIOMEDICINE AT SALFORD? / Royal Society of Biology Accreditation Our courses are accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, meaning the content, structure and resources we offer meet industry standards. The accreditation also assures future employers that Salford students will graduate with the relevant academic and practical skills required for a successful career. / Placement Opportunities Salford is passionate about encouraging you to gain real-world experience. As a result, students are able to take an industrial placement year between their second and third year. The placement not only gives you industry experience but the opportunity to gain vital industry contacts before graduation. / 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. From Biomedical Science to Climate Change to Wildlife, you will find a group of likeminded students and a place to socialise, relax and enhance your skills. There is also the Steminists society, supporting female students across STEM subjects and promoting gender equality for all.
