More than just a degree

As Dean of Students, it’s my responsibility to make sure you have the best possible experience during your time at Salford.

THERE are many reasons why the University of Salford is a fantastic place to start your future. We’ve made huge investments in our campus over the past few years, creating state-of-the-art learning facilities and modern student spaces.

We’ve built relationships with organisations of all sizes and across all industry sectors to bring you opportunities to gain authentic and meaningful experiences, which will help give you the edge in a competitive job market after graduating.

We use our links with industry in multiple ways throughout the curriculum. In addition to offering many placement or internship opportunities, these include using live briefs as part of a course, involving industry experts in the creation of course content, providing guest lectures and taking part in the assessment process. This ensures you will develop not only the knowledge, but the key skills and attributes needed by employers, and what you learn in the classroom can equally be used in a professional work setting.

Embarking on a degree is no easy feat, and it should be challenging personally as well as academically. We pride ourselves on the support we offer to our students, whatever your circumstances, and we’re here with you every step of the way.

You’ll receive personalised wrap-around support throughout your time at Salford, whether you’d like extra guidance on successful revision techniques, understanding how to perfect your interview skills, or to fine tune your digital skills, we can help. Alongside our more academic skills development, we also provide extensive support through our askUS service. Created in coordination with students, our dedicated askUS service is our one-stop shop encompassing wellbeing, counselling, financial advice, disability support, accommodation, careers and enterprise, LGBTQIA+, international and faith support.

The thing I love most about Salford is the community that our students and staff have created together; our belief in the talents of our students and our commitment to their success is visible across the University. I know you’ll find a way to make your mark at Salford.
