Studying at Hopwood Hall College

Keep an eye out for your invitation to register email and/or text. Get ahead by following the link in your email/text to access our online registration portal. Don’t forget to follow the steps on-screen, ensuring your personal contact information is correct and your payment is in place. You will need to register at both the University of Salford and Hopwood Hall College, so please look out for both.

Hopwood Hall College registration - To register as a University of Salford Foundation Degree student at Hopwood Hall College, you are expected to attend an enrolment day at the Middleton campus. You can attend any of the enrolment days which begin from 15 August and continue throughout August, on weekdays only.

Be sure to complete your online declaration form for Student Finance to make sure your funding is in place. You will need to be registered at the University of Salford and Hopwood Hall College before your funding can be released.

If you’re moving away from home for the first time to start your studies, you might feel a bit worried about where you’re going to live. Don’t be. Having your own place can be part of the adventure – expect to make friends and learn about fridge politics. Head to our accommodation information for more details.

If you’ve already booked your accommodation in Peel Park Quarter or Eddie Colman/John Lester Courts, you’ll be hearing from Campus Living Villages separately about moving in dates and anything else you need to know.

Our Get Ready to Learn at the University of Salford resource will give you a great introduction to studying here. As well as giving you a jump start with your academic studies, you’ll find information about the University’s Clifford Whitworth Library and Blackboard, our virtual learning environment, as well as how you can get Office 365 for free. Find out more on how to get started.

If you need to find a job, we can help with that. Our recruitment agency, Unitemps, can help you find part-time work that fits around your studies and we have a full careers service that can help build your skills and get you ready for the world of work after graduating.

Be part of something bigger at university. Whether you want to play competitively, have fun with your friends, or just want to stay fit and healthy, you can join Team Salford by signing up to the University of Salford’s Sports Centre, or joining a Students’ Union Sports Club and Activity Group. We have it all; from Give It A Go, our no commitment drop-in sessions, to campus sport where groups of friends, accommodations and course mates battle it out for campus pride. Finally, make sure you keep your eye out for our annual major Varsity competition against the University of Chester, either by playing yourself or by getting a Varsity t-shirt and coming along to support!

In between now and when you join us, if there’s anything else you’d like to know then askUS.
