Application deadlines
If you’re applying to the University of Salford from outside the UK, you need to make sure you apply to our courses and meet your offer conditions within the specified deadlines. Find out more below according to what level of study you are applying for.
Postgraduate applications
Once you have applied and received a conditional offer, it is important to meet all of your offer conditions as soon as possible. Some courses can fill quickly, and delays in meeting your conditions may affect your ability to join your preferred intake.
Students in some countries are currently experiencing Student Visa processing delays. Meeting your conditions early allows you to request your CAS sooner and gives you more time to apply for your visa before your course begins.
Please note – the deadlines below are for guidance only.
This information is regularly updated, so please keep checking back.
Important deadlines (postgraduate)
January 2027 intake
Postgraduate taught
- Submit your documents for your CAS*: 30 November 2026
- Induction starts: 11 January 2027

Due to the popularity of our courses, it is not feasible for us to provide specific deadlines by which you must meet your offer conditions. Instead, we will confirm places to offer-holders on a first-come, first-served basis. It is therefore strongly recommended that you meet the academic conditions of your offer as soon as possible. Once you have met all academic conditions, you will have to pay your deposit as the final condition to secure your place on your course.
If your course is full when you meet the conditions of your offer, you will be offered the next available intake for your course or offered a refund of your deposit. During the application process, we will keep our intakes page up to date with course availability, and we recommend that you check this page regularly to see the status of your course.
Undergraduate applications
Includes BSc, BA, BEng, MEng, LLB, HND, FdSc and bachelor’s degrees.
UCAS is the central admissions service for universities in the UK, and is the system we use for undergraduate applications. You will need to quote our institution code (S03) when you apply, along with our institution code name (SALF) and the code for your chosen course (find this on your course page). Leave the campus code blank.

International Foundation Year applications
Our International Foundation Year (IFY) will fully prepare you for entry onto one of our undergraduate degrees. Based on campus, all of your teaching will be delivered by our academics and you will have full access to our facilities. You will study a mixture of subject-specific content and improve your English language and academic study skills. The subject-specific modules are tailored to your chosen degree so when you pass the International Foundation Year, you’ll be able to progress onto many of our undergraduate degree courses here.
