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
• f employing you

Salford students spend 2nd year abroad and Toledo students study 2nd year at Salford

Widen your experience by studying abroad

We have provided an exchange programme with the University of Toledo, Ohio, USA, for over 30 years

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
