A huge programme of welcome events are available, and many of them are free of charge. The events will give you an opportunity to meet other students, see some of the local area if you are new to Salford, and help you settle in. Some of the events will take place at the University, and other include trips to Manchester and other locations. Full details of the welcome programme are detailed here.
To book your place for any of the events you need to register online with our online event booking system, and then book your place on the events you are interested in.
You can also book a free transfer from Manchester Airport, if you will be travelling to Manchester by air.
