Offer Holder Days

Our Offer Holder Days are taking place between February and April 2026. These are on-campus events where you can meet your fellow applicants, see how your chosen course is taught, and get a real taste of life as a Salford student. We start sending out invitations to our Offer Holder days in early 2026, so if you're made an offer to study with us, keep an eye on your emails!

Take a virtual tour

Take a virtual tour of our campus and facilities from the comfort of your own home using our virtual experience platform. You can also find lots of resources about your course, accommodation and student life at Salford on there.

Fees and funding

When you come to university, it’s important to manage your money carefully. Our student support service, askUS, offers information and advice on all aspects of student finance, whether you’re a current or prospective student. 

Wellbeing and support

Your university days can be the most exciting time of your life, but they can also be challenging. Whatever your personal circumstances, we want to make your Salford experience a positive one, which is why we've created a dedicated, specialist support service, askUS.

askUS can offer you help and advice on a wide range of issues, including wellbeing and counselling, disability support, money and finances, accommodation, faith, carer support and more. 

If you have a disability, mental health condition or if you think you might need emotional support while you're at university, it's important that you have support in place before you start. If you need support, we need to know about it as early as possible, so we can help you whenever you may need it.

Applying for student accommodation

If you've been offered a place to study with us, another important decision you'll make is where you're going to live. If you’d like to live in student accommodation, our partnered accommodation is managed by Campus Living Villages (CLV). Room bookings open in the spring, and we'll contact all offer holders when this happens.

If you’d prefer to live off-campus or will be commuting from home, we can also support and advise you to ensure you're getting the most out of your time studying with us.

Jargon Buster

We know that applying to university can be confusing at the best of times, not least because you come up against a lot of words and acronyms that might be new to you. To help you out, we’ve put together a handy Jargon Buster page to help you understand the world of university lingo! 

Information for parents and supporters

If you're a parent, carer or supporter of a student applying to study with us, you'll likely have a few questions of your own about the application process, as well as any deadlines that need to be met for an application to be considered. 

We've put together a handy guide just for you, to keep you up to date with key facts and information about our university and how your son or daughter can apply to start their studies with us. We also have a monthly Student Supporters' email newsletter, as well as regular online events to have your questions answered by our team.

FAQs

If you have a question about your application, you can contact us at anytime. We've also put together a list of frequently asked questions, so check these out first to find out if your question has already been answered by our team.
