Session details:
FIMS invites you to take part in a creative image-making and styling session (Swap & Style) led by final-year student Ruby Gray, inspired by her ‘Swap Not Shop’ project. You’ll work together to build unique outfits by swapping pieces and experimenting with fresh ways of styling. The final looks will be captured in a fun, collaborative photoshoot to celebrate your creativity
14:00 - 14:25 The session will begin with a warm welcome from the FIMS team, supported by Ruby and Henry. They’ll introduce the session and share the inspiration behind Ruby’s Swap Not Shop initiative and sustainable values within FIMS. This will include a short presentation on sustainable styling and how fashion can be reimagined through creativity and conscious choices.
14:25 - 14:45 You will begin to put together your first look using the clothes provided from FIMS. The focus here is on layering, playful styling, and thinking beyond conventional outfit choices. Ruby and Henry will be on hand to offer guidance, encouraging participants to experiment freely and challenge traditional fashion norms.
14:45 - 15:35 The group will head outdoors for a series of styled photoshoots across three distinct locations, carefully chosen by the FIMS team. At each stop, students will swap one item of clothing and must reimagine how it’s worn in a completely new way. The twist: no group can wear the swapped garment in the same style as the one before them. This part of the session is all about adaptability, invention, and bold styling choices. Throughout, behind-the-scenes content will be captured by FIMS to document the energy and creativity of the day.
15:35 -16:00 Everyone will return to the FIMS room to wrap up. The session will end with a relaxed group discussion reflecting on the experience, challenges, and favourite looks. Ruby will also host a short Q&A, followed by information on how students can stay connected with FIMS.

How does an Offer Holder Day differ from an Open Day?
An Offer Holder Day gives you the chance to explore your course in more detail. The course sessions will offer a taster of what it's really like to study at the University of Salford and to allow you to make sure you have picked the right course and university for you.
It's also a great opportunity to meet your potential future classmates, as everyone attending an Offer Holder Day will be holding an offer for their chosen course.
How to find us?
At the Offer Holder Day, parking will be available at our Peel Park campus car parks. We recommend parking at the Lowry and Delaney car parks (M5 4NJ), or Irwell Place car park (postcode M5 4WT).
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. We are easily accessible by train and bus, with Salford Crescent train station located directly on the campus.

Do you have any support for students with a disability?
Yes. If you have a disability, please contact us at enquiries@salford.ac.uk to discuss your access requirements. We’ll then work with you to do everything we can to support you on the day. The askUS team will also be available throughout the Offer Holder Day to discuss the support available to you throughout your time studying at Salford.
You can check our campus for its accessibility using AccessAble's assessment of our campus and facilities.
You can also find out more about accessibility on campus and the Disability and Learner Support team on our website.
We do offer a range of accessible accommodation, although please be aware that for this event you may not be able to view the rooms due to current occupancy. You are welcome to chat to both the Disability Inclusion Service and Campus Living Village staff about the facilities available.
Can my parent/carer/supporter attend the event?
Yes! Parents, carers and supporters are welcome to attend with you.
Do you have prayer rooms on campus?
We have quiet rooms and ablution rooms as well as a Faith Centre. Head to the check-in desk for further information.
What do I need to do after the event?
Accept your offer on UCAS
You can accept a maximum of two choices – one firm and one insurance. You can only have an insurance choice if your firm choice is a conditional offer. If you accept an unconditional offer as your firm choice then the place is guaranteed, so you cannot have an insurance choice. Make sure you know when the deadline is to accept your offer.
Accommodation
If you're planning to move away from home, now is a great time to start exploring suitable accommodation options. The university partner accommodation is run by Campus Living Villages, and details about availability and how to apply can be found on the Campus Living Villages webpage.
If you originally indicated on your UCAS application that you wanted to live at home but have since changed your mind, that’s absolutely fine — you're still welcome to apply for accommodation.
In the meantime, feel free to browse all of our accommodation options online!
Student finance
Applications for student finance for courses starting September 2025 to 2026 are now open. You can find further information on the Gov.uk student finance web pages. Make sure you submit your application in plenty of time, so your funding is in place when you start your course.
Are there other ways to visit if I can no longer attend?
If you can no longer join us at this event, please drop us an email and let us know. We are running multiple Offer Holder Days so you may be able to make it to a future event.
We are also running campus tours throughout the spring and summer, or you can take a virtual tour! To join us for future events, book your place through the Offer Holder Hub.
