The University of Salford is located less than two miles from the city centre of Manchester in North West England. We offer a wide range of degree courses at Salford and our university is leading in areas such as health, media, energy, and the built environment. Our large student body contribute enormously to the local economy and the courses they study on are designed with employment in mind, helping them and the economy obtain real-world skills. And of course, students have all the opportunities that Manchester – one of the UK’s fastest growing cities – has to offer, right on our doorstep.

We have a dedicated Student Recruitment Team who work in partnership with schools, colleges, and careers services, raising awareness of Higher Education and the University itself. Our team are happy to support talks, fairs and workshops for years 12 and 13. We can tailor a range of student recruitment activities at your sixth form or College to the needs of your students, to help support them make important decisions about their future Higher Education and career choices. Our goal is to deliver impartial information, advice, and guidance, to ensure that students and their key influencers are aware of the choices that are available and that students are applying for the right courses for them. Please contact [email protected] should you be interested in booking any of the below sessions or developing something more bespoke with us.

If your school or college are planning to hold an event you would be more than welcome to get in contact with us and we can check our availability to support. We can deliver any of our higher education presentations at your events, as well as speak with students and parents/carers about opportunities offered here at the University of Salford.

Providing timely information and advice can be hugely beneficial to Year 12 and Year 13 students as they make important decisions about their future. We have created our range of talks to inform and encourage students, aiding the transition into Higher Education. Examples of some of the talks we are able to provide are set out below:

Choosing the right university and course is an important decision, but it can be difficult to know where to start with over 37,000 courses in the UK to choose from. Our introduction to higher education talk will provide students with information on the benefits of university study, how to choose a course, finance, accommodation and the UCAS process.

This session helps students identify what makes a good personal statement and how to start, structure and review their own. We can also offer general advice around preparing for course interviews, with a particular focus on building students’ confidence, and we’re happy to attend personal statement checking if your school/college hosts them.

Students (and their supporters) often have many worries about student finance and budgeting. Along with information on loans and the application process, we encourage students to begin thinking about the outgoing costs of student living and how to successfully manage money at university.

An introduction to the University of Salford enabling students to find out more about the course choices, facilities, accommodation, and support for students choosing to study here.

Reflecting on their time at Salford, current students and/or recent graduates discuss their personal experiences at the university, talk about their decision-making process and the transition to higher education.

We understand that students in particular are feeling the effects of the cost-of-living crisis. This interactive workshop will give students an insight into how they can best manage their finances at university and give them an insight into the real terms costs associated with university.

In this session we will talk your students through the UCAS application and provide a step-by-step guide of how to apply, highlighting the key stages in the decision-making process.

If you have a specific subject in mind, we endeavour to tailor talks to the needs of your students. Please don't hesitate to inquire with your specific requirements.
