About University of Salford, the

The University of Salford is a post-1992 university situated on the banks of the River Irwell in Salford, Greater Manchester, immediately adjacent to the city of Manchester. Its Peel Park campus is minutes from Manchester city centre, giving students access to one of the UK's most vibrant urban economies and cultural scenes.

Salford has strong programmes in media and the creative industries, benefiting from its proximity to MediaCityUK at Salford Quays, where BBC and ITV operations are based. Further strengths include nursing, business, engineering, architecture, and acoustics. The university's industry partnerships, particularly in media and construction, support graduate employability and provide students with real-world project experience.
