The University of Salford is located not more than two miles from the city center of Manchester in North West England.
It was established in 1967 as a non-profit public university that has a selective admission policy based on students’ past academic records and grades.
It was formerly set up as Royal Technical Institute in 1896. It later transformed into the College of Advanced Technology in 1956.
In 1967, the institution received the university status under the Royal Charter of the same year.
International students are qualified to apply for enrollment and go through a similar admission policy as local students.
This university is well known for its Two Cities Boat Race, a tradition they have practiced since 1972.
Salford gives exceptional attention to sports. It has 35 sports clubs ranging from Football to Ultimate Frisbee on its 160-acre land.
It was position 801 in World University Rankings by Times Higher Education.
Some attractive amenities at the university other than sporting facilities are vast green spaces, parking areas, quiet study spaces, and buildings housing high-end academic facilities.
Its library, Clifford Whitworth, has a wide collection of printed and digital resources that are used for learning, teaching, and research by both students and faculty.
The campus also has the Salford Museum and Art Gallery, England’s first free public library.
There are seven schools and language centers at the institution. Other than regular sit-in classroom sessions from undergraduate to doctorate, they also offer distance learning.
Student life is also active with over 50 student-run societies and clubs on the campus that focus on different social, academic, and personal interests.
Through these clubs and societies, the students collaborate and organize various events, competitions, and functions on and off the campus that keep them engaged and build relationships.
David France, Jim Sturgess, Jason Manford, and Peter Kay are some of the famous alumni of this university.
