Postgraduate study
We offer an extensive range of support for postgraduate students. Our postgraduate training programme will help you develop the skills you need for effective research, whether you’re planning a career in academia or the public or private sectors. Our online doctoral programme enables candidates who cannot commit to a full- or part-time degree, to complete their PhD with Salford.
Facilities
We have industry-standard facilities across our vibrant campus, from TV studios to a radiography centre, a 350-seat theatre to wind tunnels, fight simulators, a world-class human performance laboratory, the world’s only fully climate-controlled Energy House, and much more.
We’ve recently installed a brand new simulation suite for our healthcare students. Designed to replicate a real hospital environment, it includes: an adult and children’s ward, a treatment room, a nurse’s station and more. It also has human patient simulators that can imitate blinking, breathing and giving birth.
Our commitment to offering industry-standard learning facilities continues with the New Adelphi Building. This £55 million home for Arts and Media features high-spec studios, performance spaces, tuition rooms and an outdoor amphitheatre.
