Thank you for joining us today for your Offer Holder Day.

Lunch break
Lunch will be arriving at around 11:45 and will be served until 13:45, giving you time to attend all the optional morning sessions. Lunch includes halal and vegan options or, if you’d prefer to find an alternative, there are several restaurants, cafés, and the student shop serving hot and cold food.
Afternoon sessions
13:15 – Life at Salford Talk
We realise it’s a little quirky to have this in the middle of the day rather than first thing, but as the morning is optional, it’s the first time the whole group will be together. You will have the opportunity to hear from one of our current students and find out more about their student experience.
14:00 – Course sessions
At the end of the Life at Salford Talk we’ll divide you into groups and take you over to your course session for a 14:00 start. You’ll find a detailed overview for your course session in your Offer Holder Day Guide booklet, showing exactly what you’ll be doing during the afternoon.
Most course sessions will last around two hours, with some continuing a little later depending on the type of activity you’re doing. Most sessions will include a refreshment break Parents, carers and supporters are welcome to stay with applicants for the session or have a wander round campus and grill us with any burning questions. We will have a base for the afternoon in the SEE Building so do pop in if we can help with anything after your course session.

We hope you’ve enjoyed your day! When you get home, if more questions spring to mind then please contact the Recruitment Team on 0161 295 4545 or enquiries@salford.ac.uk. We’re happy to help.
