Admissions Process 

Full-time undergraduate applicants should make their online applications via the UCAS. In order to apply, you need to be registered with the UCAS. International students studying full-time undergraduate courses can also apply this way. All you need to apply is the institution code and course code which you can find on the University of Salford website. You will also need the fee it costs to send your application. The only undergraduate applications that shouldn’t be made via UCAS are part-time courses and BSc nursing, midwifery, and football studies courses. If you are applying for any of these, you should apply directly using the application form on the university’s website. This is the same for postgraduate applicants. You can expect to hear back from the university in the weeks following.

The University of Salford works with its own accommodation partner, Campus Living Villages. They manage their two accommodation villages: John Lester and Eddie Colman Courts and Peel Park Quarter. First-year students can live at either while postgraduates are limited to John Lester and Eddie Colman Courts. The Peel Park Quarter village overlooks the scenic Peel Park on their main campus, this means you can walk to lectures easily. You are also in close proximity to other campus facilities.
