Offer holder hub
Welcome to the hub: here you can find out more about life as a Salford student, book onto applicant events and explore your chosen course in more detail.
Use our offer holder hub to find out what life at Salford is like.
Explore what it will be like to study your chosen subject; meet some of the friendly people who will help you to settle in; double check money matters, and get a glimpse of where you could choose to live in your first year.
We know nothing beats stepping foot on campus, but hopefully this hub will act as the next best thing before joining us in person.
We know this has been a different year in many ways, so we've also compiled an FAQs page and we'll keep this updated as anything changes. We're always here to help support you and answer any queries you may have so get in touch if your question isn't answered here.
Applicant events
Over the next few months we’ll be running a number of different online events including course sessions, Q&As, student-led presentations, accommodation, finance, disability and wellbeing and more. We'll also be running some dedicated sessions for parents and carers.
We'll also have a Microsoft Teams site for your subject area where you can chat to each other and ask any questions about your course.
We’re adhering to government advice when planning our events to help keep you safe. Up until mid-April everything will be online, thereafter we’re hoping we can run some activities on campus. We'll keep in regular contact with all offer holders and be in touch if this changes.

We also have beautiful green spaces for you to relax, with Peel Park situated right next to our main campus.
IN THE CITY
When you're not in lectures or spending time with friends on campus, heading into Manchester city centre is a great option. We're just a 20 minute walk from Spinningfields, but with our on-campus train station (Salford Crescent), you can be at the heart of the city within minutes. The 50 bus is also free to students, meaning you can take advantage of our campus at MediaCityUK and discover the breathtaking views of the Quays.
Our facilities
We invest heavily in our facilities to ensure you're using industry-standard equipment during your studies, meaning you'll graduate with a working knowledge of the practical concepts that you'll be faced with day to day. We've got ambitious plans for the future too and our campus continues to evolve and grow.

Peel Park is our haven of green space situated right next to our main campus. Perfect for walks, picnics and spending time with friends, it brings the calm to city life so you can explore the best of both worlds.
Salford Students' Union
Our Students' Union based in University House is the place to go for all your student queries once you're on campus. Home to askUS, in here you'll also find our student radio station Shock Radio, Atmosphere bar and cafe and our common room.
