Salford students in the library

At the University of Salford, we are delighted to welcome large numbers of students from Pakistan and South Asia each year. 

Greater Manchester has a large community of Pakistanis, as well as British people with Pakistani heritage, so you’ll find many people living here who speak Pakistani languages like Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashtu. Greater Manchester is also very well known for its great Pakistani restaurants, takeaways and shops selling Asian food.

Our Pakistani Alumni

When you graduate from Salford, you will join a global community of over 200,000 alumni from all over the world making a positive impact in their communities. We will connect you with this community to provide networking opportunities, events and mentorship programmes. You can also get lifelong careers advice from us.

Below you can explore the paths of some of our Pakistani graduates and hear what they had to say about their time with us.
