Our Facilities
At Salford Business School, we provide a dynamic and modern learning environment designed to prepare students for success in the fast-paced world of business. Our cutting-edge facilities are equipped with the latest technology and resources, ensuring that students have everything they need to thrive.
Business Simulation Suites
Our Business Simulation Suites provide students with dedicated spaces to apply theory to real-world scenarios. Working in 'management teams', students operate their own companies in realistic market environments and industries, powered by Edumundo software.
The simulations include a diverse range of scenarios, such as managing a multi-national smart phone company and managing the marketing mix of a popular jeans brand. In each simulation, teams of students compete in rounds (equivalent to one year of operations) and must make strategic decisions in order to improve company performance across their target markets with the aim of becoming top of the ranking list at the end of the final round.

Our new Esports Lab provides a cutting-edge bespoke environment for Esports Business Management students, Salford Esports - our Students' Union's esports team and the wider school.
Equipped with a tournament arena, industry grade broadcasting equipment, including Blackmagic 4K cameras and television studio mixers, plus an esports suite for teaching, learning and gaming, the Lab is designed to support students looking to pave the way in this rapidly expanding and innovative sector.
In addition, the Lab has 23 Yoyotech i9 RTX Esports Gaming PCs with Intel i9 Processors and NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super graphics cards, amongst other industry leading technology.
