With over 20,000 students and 2,000 colleagues, we are a significant business in our own right and one which is truly proud to be part of Salford and our community.

This strategy supports our plans to grow industry engagement and income, enhance the student experience, develop critical mass in areas of world class research, produce real-world impacts, and develop a vibrant community of high-quality researcher and enterprise leaders.

We have entered a new and exciting era for research at the University, making investments in our students, staff and research infrastructure to help us achieve our overall aim of producing research that is high-impact and high-profile and that is beneficial to our stakeholder groups.
