Undergraduate Open Days
Choosing the right university is a big decision – and one of the best ways of finding out what's right for you is by going to Open Days and events. Discover how we can help you achieve your goals at our Open Days. Our Open Days this year take place on Saturday 17 June, Saturday 7 October and Saturday 4 November.
OPEN DAY TRAVEL BURSARY
We want you to be able to make an informed decision when you’re choosing where to study, and we know the best way to do that is to get out and visit. The financial cost of doing that can add up quickly though, so to help offset your visit to us, we’d like to reimburse you for some of your travel expenses.
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 £40.
Don't worry, you won't need to provide travel receipts. You will be able to claim your travel costs after your attendance is confirmed on the day. We will provide full guidance on how to do this at the Open Day.

Our location
There are many things that make us unique, but our location is one of the things that really sets us apart.
We're based in the vibrant and diverse city of Salford, in the heart of England’s north west – right next to our neighbour, Manchester.
Our main campus, Peel Park, offers the best of both worlds: state-of-the-art learning facilities set against beautiful green space, within twenty minutes’ walk of the centre of Manchester. We’re also the only university with a campus at MediaCity. Its stunning waterfront location at Salford Quays is also home to TV, digital and creative organisations like the BBC and ITV.
When lectures finish, you don’t need to look hard to find exciting culture, sport, shopping, food and nightlife experiences right on your doorstep here in Salford. And when you’re ready to explore Manchester, getting there couldn’t be easier – it’s just a short trip by foot or on public transport, with Salford Crescent station at the heart of our campus.
