Widely regarded as one of the UK’s most enterprising universities with academics taking their research out into the real world. 83% of its research is judged to be of international class (RAE 2008) and 12% judged to be world-leading. 75% of its undergraduate programmes give students the opportunity to complete a work or study placement in the UK or overseas. Its brand new state-of-the-art facility at MediaCityUK opens in September 2011, co-existing with five BBC departments and players and innovators in the digital and media global arena. With students from 140 countries, Salford is a university with a truly international outlook.
