A bit about the School of Health & Society

The School of Health and Society at the University of Salford is forward‐thinking and dynamic with a commitment to lifelong learning and real-world impact. Our School has a track record of collaborating with a wide range of industry partners to produce highly skilled graduates with real work experience.

We are at an interesting time in the Higher Education sector. There is significant change in terms of oversight, student expectations and changing demographics and we are trying to do things differently so that we stay ahead of these changes. Our connection to industry is stronger than ever and we're proud to have more partnerships with SMEs than any other Greater Manchester University. In addition to this we have responded excellently to the challenges of the pandemic to maintain the quality of the student experience and we have learned new ways of working that we will take forward.

The University of Salford has made a strategic decision to develop Policing as part of its portfolio of professional subject areas. We successfully deliver, in partnership with Greater Manchester Police, the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, the Degree Holder Entry Programme and a Professional Development Transformation package. Our BSc Professional Policing course is also thriving and is now going into its third year.
