Offer Holder Day - Thank you for booking
Thank you for booking your place on an Offer Holder Day.
Around two weeks before your event, we will email you with a full schedule of the day. This will include what to expect during your subject session and how the day will work. We'll also provide information on how to find us and what to do when you arrive on campus.
We look forward to meeting you in person soon, but in the meantime we have provided some information about the university, planning your day and how to get in touch with us.
Planning your day
When you arrive on campus for your Offer Holder Day, you will be directed to a check-in location. To check-in, you need to provide your QR code (this will be sent to you via email several days before the event), where you will then be given a schedule for the day, as well as a copy of your course specific session. We will also provide some freebies and point you in the right direction.
It is important you make sure to check in when you arrive as you can then claim some money back towards the cost of your travel. The financial cost of travelling can add up quickly, so we'd like to offset some of the cost of travelling to your Offer Holder Day. If you live in Greater Manchester, we'll contribute £15 to the cost of your visit; for anyone coming from further afield, we'll contribute up to £120. Terms and conditions apply, you can find out more information about the Travel Bursary Scheme terms and conditions.
How to find us
The university car parks are likely to be very busy at the Offer Holder Days, so where possible we would encourage you to consider public transport options.
By car
On the day of the Offer Holder Day, there will be parking available in our Peel Park and Frederick Road campus car parks. We do not have university parking at our MediaCity campus but will provide coaches between MediaCity and Peel Park campus on the day.
Peel Park - use the Lowry and Delaney car parks (M5 4NJ), or Irwell Place car park (postcode M5 4WT).
Frederick Road - please use Frederick Road car park (postcode M6 6PU).
MediaCity - if you would still like to park at MediaCity, please use the Garage car park (M50 2HE).
By public transport
As part of our commitment to net zero carbon by 2038, we are prioritising more sustainable travel modes on our campus by improving public transport connections and enhancing pedestrian and cycling routes across the University. Where possible, we encourage you to consider public transport options when visiting us at your Offer Holder Day.
If your course is taught on Peel Park or Frederick Road campuses, we are easily accessible by train and bus, with Salford Crescent train station located directly on the campus.
If your subject is taught on MediaCity campus, we are easily accessible by tram and bus, with services direct to MediaCity and services that stop walking distance from MediaCity.
