Welcome to the University of Salford Online Open Day
Welcome!
Just like an on-campus event, when you attend our Online Open Day you can attend course and general information sessions, tour the campus (virtually, at the moment) and enjoy plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions and talk to lecturers about your course and chat to students.
The event will run from 9.30am - 4pm, and you will be able to access all of the sessions we have on offer from this webpage. If you need any support, the team will be on hand throughout the event to help using the live chat icon in the bottom right-hand corner of this page; you'll also find more information in the FAQs section below.
- If you have any questions before or after the event, you can contact us at enquiries@salford.ac.uk or +44 (0)161 295 4545 (10am - 4pm Monday to Friday).
Get started here
Read the Guide
Take a look at our Open Day guide for more information on everything we have to offer, from the times for each session, to top tips, to an insight into our University.
Plan your day - sample itineraries
As there are a range of general sessions on offer along with course sessions, we've created some sample itineraries to give you an idea of how to spend your day with us.
There are two per school but don't let that limit your own. To find out which school your chosen course(s) belongs to, please see the Open Day guide.
Attend a course session
Our course sessions are designed to help you get to know us, so while they're informative, they are also relaxed and informal.
Each course has two opportunities to attend, allowing you to explore several courses if you are unsure which to choose. Take a look at the course section below for timings and how to access the sessions.
General presentations and drop-ins
We're running a number of general information sessions throughout the day to help you find out more about life at Salford.
The sessions on offer include a Welcome talk, presentations on accommodation, finance talks, disability drop-in sessions and more, all of which can be accessed from the boxes below.
Explore our campus
Whilst we can't host you on campus for this event, there are plenty of opportunities to attend a virtual Campus Tour. You can also watch the video below and download a campus map.
In order to plan your day, we have provided an Open Day guide containing information on all the sessions we have to offer. We have also listed our general sessions below for ease. There's plenty to choose from including course sessions, live sessions that take place at a dedicated time or drop-in sessions that are available any time throughout today's event. We will be recording many of today's sessions so we can send these out to you next week to re-watch. Your cameras and mics will not be enabled so you will not appear on camera but any messages posted in the chat will be recorded. If your session is being recorded and you'd prefer your chat not to be included in that, please let either the tutor of Information Desk know this, or alternatively, hold your question and comments until after the recording has stopped.

Information Desk
If you have any queries about planning your day, need help accessing your sessions or have any general course enquiry or admission questions, our team are here and happy to help. Use the live chat function in the bottom right-hand corner of your page to speak to us at any point during the event.
For more information on the system we're using - Blackboard Collaborate - take a look at the FAQs below or visit our dedicated webpage, Collaborate Ultra.
Course presentations
Use the drop-down list below to find out when your course sessions take place - if your course has a Foundation Year or a Professional Experience option, it will be included with the main sessions. The sessions are designed to help you get to know us, so while they're informative, they are also relaxed and informal.
We know you might not be set on which course you'd like to study yet, so all courses will have two presentation times, allowing you to explore several courses should you choose to do so.
When you first enter a session, a microphone and camera test may pop up and, if prompted, please allow Collaborate (this is the software we use to run our online events) to access these or you may not be able to hear the presentation. Don't worry, no one will be able to see or hear you as we have disabled microphones and cameras.

What system are you using for the event?
The system we’re using is called Blackboard Collaborate. Blackboard is the virtual learning environment we use at Salford, and you’ll become very familiar with it when you start your course.
How do I access the sessions?
Using Google Chrome, click on the link for the session you want to access and it will open in a new tab while leaving this event hub page open for you.
When you join your first session, you’ll be asked to add your name and that’s all you need to do. You may also see a microphone and camera test pop up the first time you open a session; when prompted, please allow Collaborate to access these or you may not be able to hear the presentation. Don't worry, no one will be able to see or hear you as we have disabled microphones and cameras.
If you experience audio problems when you enter any of the sessions, you can also dial into the session using your mobile phone. To do this, please click on the menu button in the top left-hand corner and select 'use your phone for audio'. This will provide you with a unique phone number and pin that will allow you to dial into the session.
Do I need tech to access the sessions?
You don’t need a microphone or a camera for this event, the only thing you will need is to use Google Chrome as your browser.
How do I ask questions during a talk?
During the sessions there is a chat function on the right-hand side of the screen, and you can type questions there - you won’t be able to ask questions verbally as all microphones are disabled. To access the chat function, click on the pink two arrows symbol in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen and this will open a chat box. Please be aware that any questions you type here can be seen by other participants.
Can other participants see or hear me?
No. Other participants can only see your name and any questions you enter in the chat. We will be recording many of today's sessions so we can send these out to you next week to re-watch. Your cameras and mics will not be enabled so you will not appear on camera but any messages posted in the chat will be recorded. If your session is being recorded and you'd prefer your chat not to be included in that, please let either the tutor of Information Desk know this, or alternatively, hold your question and comments until after the recording has stopped.
