Professor Helen MarshallVice-Chancellor

Vice-Chancellor’s welcomeWelcome to our Postgraduate Open Day.

Our Open Days are designed to provide you with all the information you need to make an

informed choice about the many taught and research opportunities available to you at the

University of Salford.

In a fiercely competitive job market, a postgraduate qualification from Salford will give you

the edge over rival job applicants. Our courses are designed to equip you for the challenges

of the working world. They can open doors to rewarding and challenging careers in health,

science, engineering, the arts, the built environment, media, music, law and business.

As a postgraduate student at Salford you’ll experience cutting-edge academic facilities, close proximity to central

Manchester and over 2,400 affordable student rooms within walking distance of our three campuses.

Thousands of postgraduates from the University have gone onto career success. Previous students are now working at

leading organisations across the world including Apple, Saatchi & Saatchi, Kellogg’s the NHS, GlaxoSmithKline and the

Financial Times, to name just a few. We also continue to boast exceptional links with organisations across both the public

and private sector, both here in the UK and overseas.

Salford is a research-driven university, using innovation and creativity to find solutions to ‘real-world’ problems. Our

multi-disciplinary research environment is recognised nationally and around the world. Our research is organised through

four strategic interdisciplinary themes; Built Environment; Energy; Health & Wellbeing; Media, Digital Technology & the

Creative Economy.

Academic staff and students will be available throughout the event to answer any questions you might have. I hope you

enjoy your visit to the University of Salford.
