Social and economic impact
We have always done the unexpected. Our forward-thinking approach has powered progress for nearly 125 years. Today, our work is strengthened by countless industry initiatives and innovative research programmes, helping us build a thriving education community in Salford and beyond.
Our city, our region, your university
The University of Salford has a global reach, but we also share a history that is firmly embedded in the industrial past of Greater Manchester. As we have grown as an institution, so too has our impact. Whether we’re transforming lives through education and research or working with partners to address major challenges like poverty, homelessness, low carbon and health innovation, our success stories are your success stories.
