About the event

A University of Salford open day gives prospective students the opportunity to visit the University, explore its courses and gain a better understanding of student life. Visitors can attend course talks, join Q&As with current students, take campus tours and look around accommodation. They can also speak with teaching and support staff, ask questions and learn more about student finance, applications and getting ready for university.

Visiting an open day gives prospective students the chance to experience Salford in person and explore facilities across the University’s three campuses. Talking to staff and current students can offer useful insight into courses and student life, while campus tours and accommodation visits allow visitors to see where they could study and live. The event also provides information about applying, including UCAS and personal statements. By exploring the University first-hand and speaking to people who know it well, prospective students can compare their options, discover what Salford has to offer and feel more confident about their next steps.

Travel advice

The University offers a travel bursary to help with the cost of attending its Open Days. The amount is based on how far the prospective student is travelling, with five different payment bands available. The minimum amount is £15 for those making a shorter journey, while the maximum contribution is £120 for those travelling from further afield. Payment is made to the prospective student only, rather than to each person attending the event.
