Why choose Salford

We are confident that we offer high quality courses, value for money and a great experience at Salford. But we also know that you always have a choice of destination – so before you make up your mind, here are 5 good reasons to choose us:

Accreditation and Expertise

All of our English language teaching is accredited by the British Council. We are also a member of English UK. This means that every aspect of our teaching and support at Salford has passed a rigorous inspection process and that you have a guarantee of quality.

State-of-the-art facilities

Whatever course you are on, you will have access to our Language Resource Centre (LRC) This multimedia facility has cutting-edge language labs, computer labs and access to TV, DVD and video material in a wide range of languages. It also has a video-conference suite and full simultaneous translation facilities. You can use EFL materials on the computers to practice listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation and academic skills. Find out more about the Language Resource Centre.

Student Support

We are proud of the way we look after all of our students, but we realize that if you are an EFL student you may need extra support – after all you are still learning English in a completely new environment. Maybe this is your first time away from your home. We want to make sure that you are free to achieve the best results you can without undue stress and worry. Because of this we offer a complete support network delivered through system of personal tutors, accommodation officers, and academic staff and programme leaders. Whatever the issue or problem you have, there will always be someone on hand to help you solve it.

Direct Entry

If you enroll on one of our courses, either to satisfy entrance requirements or to improve your level of English before starting on a degree programme, we can give you an offer directly onto the course of your choice upon the successful completion of your EFL course. You will find this very helpful if you need to apply for a visa. We can do this for over 100 courses.
