Visiting us
The University of Salford is situated just
a mile and a half from Manchester city
centre. Our main campus is just 1.6 miles
from MediaCityUK. There are excellent
transport links, with Salford Crescent
railway station on campus and regular
bus services. w
The Allerton Car Park will be open and
free of charge to Open Day visitors. If
you are going straight to MediaCityUK,
we recommend that you use public
transport or park at Allerton Car Park
and then take the bus service. Parking is
extremely limited at MediaCityUK, and a
charge will apply.
