Working for us
By joining Team Salford, you can be part of our ambitious journey and help to make a real difference to the people and communities we support.
We have answered the needs of industry since 1896, when we began as the Salford Royal Technical Institute - we’ve now been a leading university for over 50 years and are one of the fastest growing universities in the country.
We are proud to have more partnerships with SMEs than any other Greater Manchester university. Our forward-thinking approach has powered progress for 125 years.
Strong partnerships with the likes of Siemens, NHS Trusts and The Lowry bring real-world industry opportunities for our students and make a real difference to the communities around us.
Our industry focus
Industry collaboration is at the heart of what we do. It means we develop and nurture outstanding relationships with industry in all aspects of our business, from developing our curriculum and producing job-ready graduates, to research, consultancy and knowledge exchange.
Our location
Our location sets us apart. We are just 2 km from Manchester. Greater Manchester is one of the most diverse city regions in the UK with over 200 languages spoken.
Our colleagues live and work in one of the most vibrant regions in the UK, a hot spot of digital innovation, excellent schools and colleges, and with affordable city, suburban and rural living options to suit a wide range of lifestyle choices.
The city offers great transport links both in and around Greater Manchester. Furthermore, a packed calendar of world-class events and festivals to discover.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
