Your next steps
To confirm your place on your course, you need to complete all of the below actions. If you applied using an agent, you can ask them to guide you through your next steps:
- 1) Accept your offer: if you have decided you want to study with us, you should go UCAS track and accept your offer. Or if you applied directly, accept your offer on the Applicant Portal.
- 2) Meet all your offer conditions (including paying your deposit) before the deadline: If your offer is ‘conditional’, you should meet all of your conditions by the specified deadline before we can confirm your place on your chosen course.
Your conditions could include providing your academic transcripts, proof of English language, and your passport/other documents.
Once you have provided all of these, the final step in meeting your conditions is to pay your deposit or provide proof of sponsorship.
You should check your offer letter to find out what conditions you need to meet and by when.
- 3) Check your course start date: you can find details of when you need to be on campus for your induction on our deadlines page. Make sure you plan to arrive on campus in time for this date.

LIFE AT SALFORD
Life on campus
On campus, there's lots to get involved in: from joining a society, to exploring our sports centre and fitness classes, to relaxing after a day of lectures in our Students' Union. We also have beautiful green spaces for you to relax, with Peel Park situated right next to our main campus.
In the city
When you're not in lectures or spending time with friends on campus, heading into Manchester city centre is a great option. We're just a 20-minute walk from Spinningfields, but with our on-campus train station (Salford Crescent), you can be at the heart of the city within minutes. The 50 bus is also free to students, meaning you can take advantage of our campus at MediaCity and discover the beautiful views of the Quays.
Salford Students' Union
Our Students' Union based in University House is the place to go for all your student queries once you're on campus. Home to askUS, in here you'll also find our student radio station Shock Radio, Atmosphere, and our common room.
Sports Centre
Our sports centre has a swimming pool, sauna and spa, a gym, a six-court sports hall, fitness suites, fitness classes, external pitches and changing facilities. Perfect for working out in the morning, lunchtime, evening - whatever time of day suits you.
