Offered in this session • The programmes • Being a Salford student • Enhance your degree: placement • Mini lectures • Lecturer profiles

The School of Science, Engineering & Environment Teaching and research areas for Biology, Biology with Studies in the USA, Zoology, Zoology with Marine Biology, Marine Biology, Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology, Wildlife & Practical Conservation and Foundation Year programme Genetics Marine biology Ecology and conservation Evolution Physiology Parasitology Behaviour Microbiology

Degree accreditation Most of our degrees are accredited* • Very hard to get • Our degrees align with strict requirements • And to the exacting standards of employers • Seal of approval – takes the risk out of employing you *currently not the two marine-related programmes

The University of Salford We have a heritage • 1896: Royal Technical Institute opens • 1921: Becomes Royal Technical College • 1967: University of Salford by Royal Charter We are dynamic • Continual uni-wide investment • Investment into Peel campus • New campus at Media City Where is Salford University?

The University of Salford • A Greater Manchester University • Very close to city centre • Best of both worlds • Peaceful campus, close to the city • 10-15 min walk • 5 min on a bus!

Widen your experience by studying abroad We have provided an exchange programme with the University of Toledo , Ohio, USA, for over 30 years Salford students spend 2 nd year abroad and Toledo students study 2 nd year at Salford

Your personal development and employability • Personal tutor system through years: small group teaching environment and regular contact with your tutor • Final year independent research project with Professional Skills component: career planning and interview skills • Employers tell us they value the practical skills you gain in labs and fieldwork throughout your degree

Learning and Teaching Class contact hours will vary by subject • 120 credits of learning per year • 1 credit = 10 hours • 120 credits = 1,200 hours • 1,200 / 30 weeks • 40 hours per week

Supporting our students • AskUS • wellbeing and counselling • faith • support for carers • support for students with children and much more… • Students’ Union • Library study support • Personal tutor • Lab technicians’ support • On-campus security

Fieldwork at Salford • Castlehead (Cumbria): Biodiversity • Blencathra (Cumbria): Population & Community • Dale fort (Pembrokeshire): Marine Biology • Malam Tarn (Yorkshire): Parasitology • Preston Montfort (Shropshire): Freshwater Biology Just the UK?

International fieldwork Tropical Ecology field trip Our field trips provide: • Insight • Experience • Unique skills • Team building • Belonging Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour
