We welcome applications from mature students without formal/traditional entry requirements but with relevant experience or the ability to pursue the course successfully. The degree is also offered with a foundation year specifically designed for international students.
At the University of Salford we have developed a policy, a process and practices that help you to put together a claim for entry or credit by matching your current and prior learning against the specific requirements of a particular course. So if you have no formal qualifications but plenty of experience in the area you may still be considered for entry to the course.
