The future looks bright. In 2011 we’ll be joining five major BBC departments, including Sport and Children’s, at MediaCityUK only a short distance from the University campus. We’ll have 100,000 square feet of space filled with state-of-the-art technology right next to the BBC buildings. All parts of the University will be involved in working with the BBC and other tenants to create job opportunities for graduates, and benefit business and the local community
83% of our research was judged of international class by the Government’s latest Research Assessment Exercise. What’s more, 12% was judged to be world-leading – at the very cutting edge.

Just one and a half miles away from Manchester, the University of Salford is right on the doorstep of big-city diversity and fun
