University of Salford
Established in 1896, the University of Salford is located on its own green campus less than three kilometres from the centre of Manchester. We are a large and successful university, attracting students from 119 countries around the world. We have a long and proud tradition of preparing our students for the world beyond study and in fact have one of the highest employment rates of any British university.
Choosing to study overseas represents an enormous investment of time and money. In turn, we are absolutely committed to ensuring that you get an excellent return on investment by offering you an outstanding, professionally focused education, in Manchester, one of Europe's most exciting cities.
Almost every area of academic endeavour within the University is defined and enhanced by our links with professional organisations. These partnerships ensure that our students are much sought after by many international companies and organisations. Indeed, many sponsor their students to study with us because they know that we will offer dedicated programmes and support which enhances their competitiveness.
Like most universities, we use a variety of teaching and learning styles. All of these are designed to enable you to get the most from your studies. In addition to lectures, tutorials and seminars, many of our students can take a work-placement or internship as part of their studies. To ensure that our programmes remain relevant, we invite guest speakers in to deliver 'master-classes' in many subject areas. Major companies and organisations such as KPMG, Cap Gemini and Rolls Royce sponsor prizes for our students each year. Regardless of the subject you study, we focus on developing your creativity, your confidence and your specialist knowledge.
The University of Salford has developed an enviable reputation for its research activities. Our cutting edge research has been recognised by the British Government, which has commended the University for the quality and scope of our research activity. From mobile networking and virtual environments to international relations and linguistics, there is evidence of our strong links with the outside world. Salford is rated in the top five universities for industrial income per full-time member of staff.
Our campus is a dynamic, friendly and cosmopolitan place to be. The University has invested heavily in its libraries and IT facilities. We offer an extensive computer network, with free e-mail and internet access to all of our students. Moreover, with more than 1000 networked computers, students can log on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to these general facilities, we also have more specialised equipment and facilities for our students to use.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it is our staff that make Salford special. Regular surveys of our students, both British and international, identify the friendliness of the campus and support they receive from their lecturers and tutors as their warmest memory of their time in Salford.
