We have always been committed to addressing the needs and aspirations of our local community. Our focus is not just local – we’re actively driving forward our international reach. We have an excellent reputation and actively recruit international students to our MSc and PhD programmes.

Occupational Therapy has a highly regarded undergraduate qualifying programme and is in the first year of delivery of a MSc pre-registration qualifying route which has proven to be very popular. We are looking for a motivated, creative and ambitious leader to take Occupational Therapy at Salford forward, building on our strengths and developing new areas of business to meet the demands of a changing world.
