About
Media, Music and Performance (MMP) at the University of Salford has been at the forefront of new and innovative developments in creative education for over 20 years. With around 2100 students and some 100 staff, we are one of the UK’s largest and most successful higher education providers in the subject areas of media, music and performance.
Comprising of four directorates, MMP enjoys an outstanding reputation for a wide range of innovative foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate courses, many of which are practice-based.
The University has made a major investment into MediaCityUK at Salford Quays and we are a significant player in this development.
Our media and journalism courses are based at MediaCityUK in a unique position that places us alongside the BBC, ITV and the Daily Telegraph, to name a few, in a campus location that will allow our students to interact and work in the context of the broader industry.
MediaCityUK has also helped equip us with state-of-the-art facilities, including an high-tech Digital Performance Laboratory, that is unrivalled by any higher education institution in the UK, if not Europe.
Engagement is central to what we do. This engagement sees us working extensively with industry partners across the country and beyond at all levels. Our students are naturally part of this.
The International Media Centre is at the heart of our engagement with the media and creative industries and home to the internationally renowned Nations and Regions Conference.
