Roughly a mile to the west of central Manchester lies the University of Salford, a public institution within Greater Manchester. Its roots are in the Pendleton Mechanics' Institute, founded in 1850, which took the name Royal Technical Institute in 1896 and subsequently became a College of Advanced Technology; a royal charter then made it a university in 1967. Peel Park, the main campus, covers approximately 160 acres of parkland alongside the River Irwell, and the Adelphi and Frederick Road sites lie nearby. Since 2010 teaching has also taken place at MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, where the university offers a broad selection of media and creative arts courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Salford is a sizeable institution of about 26,000 students, and its teaching is practical and closely connected to industry. Health and social care is a leading strength, with a particularly strong record in prosthetics and orthotics. A purpose-built building for science and engineering, which opened in 2022, supports work in these fields, while the arts are housed in the New Adelphi building, which contains studios and performance spaces. Its acoustics research laboratories have also earned recognition.
Information for International Students
Around 4,000 international students attend Salford. On the Peel Park campus the university teaches its own International Foundation Year, which has 14 subject streams including music, art and design, health, law, business, computer science, and engineering and physics. Entry requires a minimum of UKVI IELTS Academic 4.5, provided every band is 4.0 or higher. Most streams begin in September, and a number also offer a January start. Students with UKVI IELTS 4.0 or above can join a pre-sessional English course accredited by the British Council. Most undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses require IELTS Academic 6.0, including 5.5 or more in every component, but certain courses set a higher bar.
Sponsorship is handled by the CAS Assessment Team, which usually issues a CAS within roughly a week after checking any financial documents that are required. First-year undergraduates are advised to choose Peel Park Quarter, a main-campus development operated in partnership with Campus Living Villages, and anyone unable to obtain a room there is pointed towards alternative private and partner halls across Salford. International scholarships are available, and graduates are able to apply for the Graduate Route.
Intake Information
Intake information is provided as a general guide. Start dates vary between universities and courses, and not every course is offered at every intake. Please follow the UCAS deadlines for undergraduate applications and check the latest dates on the official University of Salford website.
Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Salford is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Salford start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Salford may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
