by pioneering exceptional industry partnerships we will lead the way in real world experiences preparing students for life.

The University of Salford is a friendly, vibrant and pioneering place to study. We are continually investing in and developing our campus, facilities and industry partnerships to enhance your student experience. Our aim is to ensure that you are provided with the best possible opportunities in order to develop the skills you need to succeed in your career. Salford’s past is rooted in the Industrial Revolution of the 19th Century. The thriving textile industry led to a demand for new industrial skills and the formation of the Royal Technical Institute, Salford in 1896. In 1958, the Institute split into two separate organisations - the Royal College of Advanced Technology and the Peel Park Technical College. In February 1967, the Royal College of Advanced Technology became the University of Salford when Her Majesty the Queen handed over the Royal Charter. Peel Park Technical College later became the University College Salford in 1992. In 1996, the University College Salford and the University of Salford united to form the single institution that it is today, 100 years after the formation of the original Royal Technical Institute. The University of Salford celebrates its 50th birthday in 2017 and is proud of its strong global presence, with around 18,000 students and 3,000 international students from more than 100 countries worldwide. As we look to the future – and as the world of work

evolves rapidly – we have taken the principles that have stood us in good stead and have redefined them to take us forward. At the heart of our philosophy, we believe in the things we’ve always believed in – but now we define them as Industry, Integrity and Initiative. With our ground-breaking Industry Collaboration Zones, we have revolutionised the traditional academic offering to better meet industry needs. Through strong partnership-working, we offer an outstanding learning experience for our 20,000 strong student body creating job-ready graduates and innovative solutions for our industry partners. Our main campus is set against Peel Park, one of the oldest public parks in the UK, meaning there are plenty of green spaces for you to enjoy. The University of Salford Students' Union has over 80 clubs and societies to join, and we have a large sports centre and pool on campus for you to enjoy. We’ve recently invested in new residences on our Peel Park campus too. These are made up of 1367 en-suite student rooms, boasting an accompanying cinema, gym and TV and games room. The residences are located just next door to the New Adelphi Building, the home of creativity on campus and base for our art, design and architecture students. As part of the wider urban scene, the campus is less than a mile from Manchester city centre. With over 100,000 people studying in the city, Manchester hosts the largest student population in Europe and has a thriving student culture, making it a great place to study.

The School also provides consultancy services of high value across a variety of sectors such as health, education, infrastructure and the public and private sectors.

Working with industry to create success Our Industry Collaboration Zones (ICZs) have transformed the traditional academic offering to better meet industry and student needs through exceptional partnership working. Students, staff and industry partners work together in close collaboration to provide career and discipline-focused programmes, where learners are able to engage with realworld scenarios, graduating with high levels of employability.

SoBE offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes which offer an active and collaborative learning environment with continuous opportunities for realworld and experiential learning. All programmes enable students to engage with their academic discipline and there are explicit links with industry at all levels of study.Â At the core of the curriculum are work placements, live briefs, community and practice-based projects with extensive use of simulated and real-life scenarios. Through this approach, all our students are able to develop the skills and competencies crucial to their future professional roles and careers. At undergraduate level around 78% of our students achieve a first or 2:1 degreeâ&#x2014;&#x160; (compared to a national average of 68% in similar subjects***) and over 9 out of 10 of our graduates find employment, or go on to further study within six months after graduating** demonstrating our success in producing high quality, industryaware graduates. In addition, we also offer world class research opportunities for professional development. The research arm of the School of the Built Environment is one of the UK's most successful, embracing themes such as information communication technology, management and the environment. More than half of our research was judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent in terms of its originality, significance and rigour in REF 2014.

Innovation in learning Since September 2016 a number of modules within the School's portfolio have been delivered in the form of learning packages, complementing the university's ICZ strategy. Learning packages are online and self-directed and support accompanying taught modules. Using cutting-edge technology and being industry focused in nature, learning packages identify key elements from original course material, and use innovative resources to convey these elements in a way that supports a high-quality learning experience for our students. The School recently introduced a new mode of study for many of its undergraduate courses; the Accelerated Degree. Whilst covering the same content as the traditional undergraduate degree, the accelerated degree is taught over three trimesters rather than two semesters. This more intense mode of study means that students can complete their degree in a shorter period of time, allowing them to progress more quickly into work or further study. Check individual course pages for more information about which courses are available to be studied as an accelerated degree. Furthermore, in response to the announcement of the apprenticeship levy, the school has launched a Level 6 Chartered Surveyor Degree Apprenticeship which allows students to study on a day-release basis for a full BSc degree, whilst at the same time working for their employer.

Industry Partners Working with industry is at the heart of our work

Commercial research and consultancy

The School has a wide range of expertise geared to working with industry, helping to solve today's problems and shape the future of the built environment. We work with organisations ranging from small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), to major international blue chip companies. We have the capacity to work on short-term projects to meet immediate issues for businesses, or longer term major commercial research projects to address strategically important issues.

Our academics are close to the most current thinking in built environment academia and the industry as a whole. We undertake a wide range of commercial research and consultancy work to help support external organisations, with the knowledge generated through this research being used to help solve new problems and shape future strategy.

Key project areas include our work on Building Information Modelling (BIM), energy and buildings, as well as a wide range of other areas associated with the built environment including procurement, performance measurement and sustainability.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are an Innovate UK funded programme whereby businesses shape a project in partnership with the University to solve a real business problem.

We deliver training and continuous professional development in a number of subject areas on a bespoke basis. We also have state of the art facilities such as the Thinklab and the Salford Energy House.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

The School of the Built Environment has an excellent track record in delivering KTP with industry partners, based on research excellence and a capacity to engage with industry in partnership. We have undertaken KTPs on issues such as BIM, sustainable retrofit, and building design and offsite manufacture. We are focused on delivering projects that are designed to generate real value for our industry partners.

Examples of our work • Our expertise in energy and buildings has led to a wide number of projects, both in our award winning Salford Energy House and in the field. Our multi-disciplinary team has investigated issues such as the performance of specific technologies, including controls and insulation, as well looking at social factors such as fuel poverty. Our client base includes major companies such as Saint Gobain, Hitatchi Europe, Danfoss and Knauf Insulation. We work closely with a number of industry networks, as well as supporting Greater Manchester in their work around improving the built environment.

• The award winning Thinklab team investigate the power of data – how it can be made

• The digital built environment team has built up a wealth of expertise on the use and implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM). Working with companies such as Links and BCEG International, the team has helped organisations prepare for the major changes in working that BIM implementation can bring. Also, working with local schools, the team are supporting the next generation of BIM experts by providing support to teachers in the delivery of design, engineering and construction training.

• We have developed expertise in construction improvement and host the KPI Engine, a performance management tool that has been used by major construction companies for more than 10 years. In addition, we have worked with organisations such as the Highways Agency to support their implementation of lean construction in their supply chains. Our commitment to construction improvement means that we support the North West Regional Construction Awards, for which we lead the judging panels.

more accessible and how it can help us shape our future places. Data visualizations and modelling help companies - such as Siemens - and organisations - such as the Environment Agency - to plan using unique tools to help shape and share data in a meaningful way.

Employability The built environment sector is the largest in the UK, contributing one tenth of the country's gross domestic product. From designing and constructing houses, to building and repairing bridges, airports and roads, the industry provides vast employment opportunities. Over a million people are currently working in the built environment sector, many of whom are self-employed. The earnings in the construction and property sector are significantly higher than the average for many other industries.

What kind of job could I get? Our graduates are highly employable - over 9/10 of our undergraduate and postgraduate students are in employment, further study or due to start work six months after graduating**. Many of our graduates go on to follow careers as:

• Architectural Technologists Architectural technologists are the link between concept and construction, working closely with architects to ensure that designs can be transformed into real buildings.

• Building Surveyors Building surveyors are sought-after professionals, and the work of a chartered building surveyor can be varied or involve high levels of specialism. A chartered building surveyor can be involved in a construction project from its inception, through design and procurement, to managing its fulfilment, and eventually overseeing the building in use.

• Architects Architects work widely throughout the architecture, engineering and construction sectors, including architectural practices, design and engineering consultancy firms. Architects are also sought-after by central government, local authorities, property developers, building contractors, housing associations, financial institutions, major retailers and manufacturing companies.

• Construction Project Managers Construction project managers lead and control all construction operations. Their primary role is to ensure that construction projects are completed on-time and within budget. They identify and manage resources and ensure quality standards and safety requirements are met.

• Property Managers To work in the property and real estate sector you must possess many key skills and competencies in areas such as valuation, development, investment and management. Property and real estate experts have an extensive understanding of the industry, and are able to confidently display a variety of proficiencies and professional knowledge to clients.

• Quantity Surveyors Quantity surveyors manage and control financial aspects of the construction process and may also specialise in construction contract law, insurance and procurement. They work on behalf of contracting organisations or representatives of the client, aiming to maximise value and ensure that the project is completed within budget.

Why did you choose Salford? I’d read about the reputation of the School of Built Environment and the fact that they were leaders in the field with many lecturers also working in industry, which I thought would be really interesting and possibly create future opportunities. What 3 things would you recommend about your course at Salford? All my lecturers are really supportive, engaging and knowledgeable - I feel very comfortable asking questions and getting feedback on my modules. My course also has many live briefs working with the local council on projects they are actually considering, which gives you a real insight into life after university. Finally the students on my course have become my family, we work hard together and enjoy lots of social events, it’s a chance to make friends for life. During your time at Salford, what’s been your highlight?

Abby-Jane Cassady Architecture student, Founder/President of The Architechnique Society, School Representative for the Built Environment, University Representative for RIBA and Winner of the North West Women in Property Award 2016.

Our Students

I set up a society called Architechnique which aims to bring students together with a passion for architecture. We’ve been away to London, had tours and talks, participated in team competitions, led student workshops to improve skills and organised weekly social events. This has been my highlight as I feel by doing these extra circular activities I’ve really developed myself and improved my confidence enormously. When you graduate what will you miss the most? This is difficult as I want to say the people but I know I will remain in close contact with them all. Therefore I think it will be having free 24/7 access to all the resources I could possibly want - I really enjoy reading books unrelated to my course and not having access to them will be tough. Equally I’ll miss the workshops, as I enjoy experimenting with materials and making models. What are your plans for the future? After winning the North West Women in Property award I’ve been approached by a few architecture practices regarding summer placements so I’m currently deciding which of those to take up, and after that I hope to take my year in industry before coming back to Salford to continue to study architecture.

Students are permitted to undertake part of the study programme at an external institution; however, students are expected to spend the equivalent of at least one third of their agreed study period at Salford. In addition to a supervisor at Salford, a local advisor who must be based in an academic institution local to the candidate’s country of residence will be appointed.

There are 5 elements to a PhD:

Progress is judged through the completion of a learning agreement, annual self-evaluation report, two intermediate assessments and final thesis submission and viva.

• Research Proposal - Normally submitted at the time of application. • Literature Review - Builds up knowledge in the subject-area of research. Students should search all relevant literature in their research field using available facilities. • Research - This aims to satisfy the research objectives by following a clear, detailed and rigorous research methodology. Students will be self-dependent and should develop in depth skills in the subject-area. • Analysis - Develops the student's ability to test or validate the research results through quantitative and / or qualitative analyses, approved by the supervisory team. • Writing up - Students complete their proposed final thesis and prepare for the final examination at the University of Salford. Students are required to work out a detailed plan for delivering the various individual chapters of the thesis to their supervisory team.
