*Greater Manchester Combined Authority, May 2021
All best wishes, DR SAM GROGAN Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Experience
Studying in Greater Manchester you’ll be at the centre of innovation, education, industry and culture and you’ll be in a part of the country whose economic potential and scope for growth exceeds that of any other UK city region outside London*. This means that Salford is not only a great place to study, but also to live, work and for future prospects. At Salford you’ll experience the best of both worlds, you’ll be only 20 minutes’ walk away from the buzz of Manchester city centre, with shops, bars, restaurants, and nightlife, and at the same time you’ll get a real sense of community from living and studying on a campus university. Salford as a city is undergoing a significant amount of change through a large amount of investment, and we’re right at the heart of that journey with the Crescent Masterplan, an £800 million investment plan designed to transform Salford over the coming years. We’ve also invested heavily in our own campus facilities, for example the new £65 million Science and Engineering building, Energy House 2.0, a new, world-leading research centre in energy efficient housing design, as well as being the home to the new North of England Robotics Innovation Centre.
SALFORD AND PROUD
THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT MAKE SALFORD UNIQUE, but our location is one of the things that really sets us apart. Salford is part of Greater Manchester; a thriving, diverse cityregion in the north-west of England and home to some of the most open and friendly people you’ll meet. There’s an entrepreneurial spirit here - we’ve got big ideas and we make them happen. But we also know how to have fun – with some of the greatest sports, culture and music scenes in the world, Salford and Manchester are home to anyone who loves to work hard and play hard. Our main campus is just 2km from Manchester city centre, and our MediaCity campus shares a skyline with the BBC and ITV. Everything you need for an outstanding university experience.

Azeem Amir, BSc Business Management with Sport, and MSc Digital Business
Learn with ESS is an initiative that uses education, sport and speaking (ESS) based activities to provide a unique and interactive team building experience whilst addressing stigmatised issues surrounding disability.

We can provide you with free hot-desking office space in the heart of Peel Park campus, where you will have access to a networking lounge to grab a coffee and make those all important business connections.

While studying on his degree BSc Business Management with Sport, he took part in the Launch programme with his business Learn with ESS.

Lili Brewin It’s an interesting talking point for job interviews, as employers like to see that you’ve done something out of your comfort zone.
LILI BREWIN, TELEVISION AND RADIO PRODUCTION STUDENT, tells us all about her experience studying abroad as part of her course at Salford.
MEET LILI
Being exposed to a completely new education system enabled me to gain a lot more confidence. Living in another country for four months, away from the comforts of home, made me more confident and improved my communication and interpersonal skills. I have also gained a lot of friends whom I will have for life, not only from America but all over the world (including Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, and Venezuela). Meeting these people also gave me a better understanding of different cultures and lifestyles around the world. Any student who is considering studying or working abroad should do their own research on the university best suited to their studies, ask questions to students who have gone through the process themselves, and make the most of the support provided at the home university as well as the host. I learned so much from the lecturers, students and the university campus as a whole in America and it’s an interesting talking point for job interviews, as employers like to see that you’ve done something out of your comfort zone and studied in another surrounding for a while.”

COURSES HAVE INDIVIDUAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND SOME REQUIRE
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS 70 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS UCAS TARIFF
CHANGES TO QUALIFICATIONS
Most courses also require a minimum of grade 4 in GCSE English and maths, (or grade C for qualifications taken prior to 2017), or a grade C in both subjects where GCSEs are taken in Northern Ireland or Wales, however some may require a grade 5. We operate a flexible admissions policy and treat everyone as an individual. This means that we will take into consideration your educational achievements and predicted grades (where applicable) together with your application as a whole, including work experience and potential to succeed in your chosen course.
We are happy to accept both reformed and unreformed A levels and AS level qualifications and we do not differentiate between grades obtained in these qualifications. We also acknowledge that students in England will be assessed on a linear basis, whilst those in Wales and Northern Ireland will continue to be assessed on a modular basis. Where you are taking a combination of A and AS levels we will continue to accommodate these on an individual basis and the University will not disadvantage those who have not had the opportunity to take AS levels. We are also aware that more students are now taking combinations of qualifications especially A levels and BTEC awards, and we welcome this.
SPECIFIC SUBJECTS. Visit the full course information on our website to find out if this applies to the course you’re interested in. Our minimum entry requirement for a degree course is two A levels or equivalent, but some courses will require three A levels. If your chosen course is in science or engineering, please check our website to see whether A levels in physics, chemistry and biology, where science practical assessments are taken, are a requirement for entry.

76 OTHER STUDY OPTIONS
To ensure you have the maximum chance of success whilst studying at a partner college, we provide a dedicated programme of support throughout the year. This includes talks by University academic staff to students at partner colleges and organised visits to the University campus to attend events relevant to your programme of study, such as guest lectures and masterclasses. As a partner college student, you will also register as a student here at Salford too and therefore have access to certain University facilities and resources whilst you study (dependent on the partner arrangement).
STUDYFOUNDATION YEARS
STUDY OPTIONS AS WELL AS THREE-YEAR DEGREES, WE ALSO OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF OTHER STUDY OPTIONS.
We believe that higher education should be within reach for all those who are passionate about learning and achieving their career goals. If you’ve got the drive and commitment to study, but don’t quite have the qualifications needed to start an honours degree, a foundation year course could be for you.
salford.ac.uk/partner-collegesPARTNERCOLLEGE
Our range of foundation courses can help to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to progress onto one of our undergraduate degrees. They’ll introduce you to key concepts and ideas, and provide you with basic knowledge of approaches, concepts, theories and principles. The foundation level places strong emphasis on the development of relevant study/transferable skills and a responsible approach to learning through a set of compulsory core modules. These are ideal if you want to develop your career but don’t meet the entry requirements for direct entry to an honours degree or have the appropriate background knowledge. They are also suited to you if you are returning to education or if you wish to change career direction. You can see which of our degrees offer a foundation year in the course listings at the back of this booklet. You can also look at our course listings online for the latest information at salford.ac.uk
This range of courses includes degrees and foundation degrees. Some of the degree programmes provide the opportunity of studying the first year at a local college before progressing to the University to complete your degree. Other degree programmes are taught at the partner as a top-up to your foundation degree.
Courses at our partner colleges currently include the areas of business, arts, sport and psychology.
More information about our partner colleges and the programmes we run is available at
As part of our commitment to giving more people access to higher education, we work with further education colleges in the north-west to offer a wide range of courses where you can study locally with the option of progressing to the University of Salford to complete or continue your studies.

78 DEGREE APPRENTICESHIPS
I am able to apply my learning to a real work environment which is fantastic. I really am having an amazing time on my degree apprenticeship and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I have a real sense of achievement having completed the degree and I believe it has equipped me with the tools to carve out a good career within the field. DEGREE APPRENTICESHIPS
A DEGREE APPRENTICESHIP ALLOWS YOU TO STUDY AT DEGREE LEVEL WHILST EARNING A SALARY AND GAINING PRACTICAL, ON-THE-JOB SKILLS. This work-based route to a degree means you will be working alongside industry experts gaining vital experience to help you excel in your chosen career.
If you’re looking to gain a degree qualification along with experience in line with your chosen career path, then a degree apprenticeship could be the perfect route for you. You’ll have the ability to apply theory and knowledge from the classroom directly to your place of work on an ongoing basis.

“I was absolutely over the moon to be accepted onto the programme. When I realised this huge construction company only took a handful of apprentices every year, I knew I had to work hard and I was so pleased when they put their faith in me and offered me a place.

80 STUDENT STORY
MEET NATHAN
The company invests a lot in us over the five-year training programme, putting us to work on different projects in different departments to get a feel for the variety of specialisms open to us, and they really help us with our university course too, so getting a place felt like a real privilege. I’ve had the opportunity to work on the Municipal Buildings, a £40 million heritage refurbishment project in Liverpool to transform a Grade II* listed building into a four-star hotel with a spa. I’ve also completed engineering placements on projects in Manchester city centre, getting involved with the final stages of the 158-bedroom Premier Inn on Princess Street, and working on the 33-storey £85 million Oxygen Towers residential development in Ancoats. I knew the route I wanted to take, I wanted to do my degree but I also wanted to work and gain some experience. The apprentice route really gives you that extra step up, so in five years when I finish my apprenticeship I’ll not only have a degree but also five years’ worth of experience, which should stand me in good stead. I believe this will help me to progress within the industry, and I will have had a great time doing it.”

PEOPLE’S LIVES BY SUPPORTING THOSE AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS.
MEET MIKE Find out more about our BSc (Hons) Social Policy course
undergraduate/social-policysalford.ac.uk/courses/STUDENTSTORY
I remember the thumping of my heart knowing I had been accepted and just feeling proud to have even been given the chance. Looking back, I was very low on self-confidence and had no faith in my abilities, all I had was hope and an ambition to give back to society. That ambition was why I chose to study BSc Social Policy at the University of Salford. The course covers such a wide range of topics, a few of my favourites were Precarity and Insecure Lives, Ideologies and Housing. The housing module really engaged me – after analysing homelessness and the policies around it I decided to focus my dissertation on the topic. I genuinely loved every minute studying on the course. The lectures were lively, inclusive and thought-provoking. I had ups and downs but the journey you go on is life-changing, the process certainly made me a better person. You’re not alone on this journey either, the lecturers are possibly the most passionate and caring people I have met. I would honestly say that the only reason I managed to get a First-Class Honours degree was because every time I needed support, reassurance or just a one to one sit down they were there for me. This brought the best out of me. Now I can safely say I know exactly what my abilities are and have faith in them. The course is designed in a way to improve your social skills, ability to debate with an open-mind and write in a way that is essential for breaking down complex information and highlighting key points. All of this has been essential in my life as a graduate.
Graduating was my proudest moment and not because I had a degree but because I felt like I had the ability make a real difference.
“Being the first in my family to go to University, I was anxious about even starting on a degree course, but I knew deep down I had to at least give it a go!
Three weeks after graduating I found a job in the area that most interested me - I now work in homeless prevention as a housing specialist. My role allows me to go out and find people at risk of homelessness, identify their issues and then design a plan to prevent this. I work with social workers, mental health nurses, housing associations and private landlords. I connect the dots, negotiate and work out solutions to problems. There are no two days the same, and I get to use everything I have learnt during the course to give back and benefit those who need it most. I manage my own caseloads and also oversee staff while advising them on actions to take. This is a privilege I have gained from taking what I thought was a ‘risk’ and going to study Social Policy. The ‘risk’ paid off, I get to fight for people’s rights and help them stay off the streets while also pushing for policy change to ensure the future is brighter for everyone in our society and no individual is left without shelter. If you’re considering making a real difference this course will provide you with the tools you need, go for it!”
