University of Salford

Once at the centre of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, the University of Salford is now at the heart of 21st century creativity and learning.
We offer a wide range of degrees across our seven academic schools. You’ll find industry-standard facilities and pioneering research initiatives across our vibrant campus, including: a world-class human performance laboratory; the world’s first fully climate-controlled Energy House; and New Adelphi, our state-of-the-art home for Arts and Media courses.
We’re also the only university with a presence at MediaCityUK; the heart of the digital and creative industries in the north of England and home to organisations including the BBC and ITV. Our facilities at MediaCityUK reflect the professional studios we’re surrounded by. If you’re a student here, you’ll have access to facilities including production suites, TV studios, and green screen studios.
With Manchester and MediaCityUK on our doorstep, the University of Salford is a great place to be a student. Manchester is one of the UK’s most cosmopolitan cities and boasts one of the largest student populations in Europe. Our campus is situated just minutes away from Manchester city centre, meaning that you are close to enjoying everything that this world-class city has to offer.

Our postgraduate courses combine the best of theory and practice to help you to flourish in a competitive world. Whatever your future holds – high-flying business leader; paving the way in compassionate patient care; academic research excellence; or ground-breaking discoveries – you can feel safe knowing it’s in our hands.

Excellent research is at the heart of what we do. We are a research-driven institution, using innovation and creativity to find solutions to real-world problems. Our multidisciplinary research environment is recognised around the world, attracting more than 3,000 international students to study at Salford.

We offer an extensive range of support for postgraduate students. Our postgraduate training programme will help you develop the skills needed for effective research, whether you’re planning a career in academia or the public or private sectors. Our online doctoral programme enables candidates who are based outside Manchester, and cannot commit to a full- or part-time degree, to complete their PhD with Salford.
