The Students' Union clubs and societies include a Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) group which works closely with the school delivering events including business games for local schools and colleges.
History
The school was formed in 2006 by the merger of four academic units, the School of Management, School of Accounting, Economics and Management Science, School of Leisure, Hospitality and Food Management and the Information Systems Institute. The University of Salford received its Royal Charter in 1967 but has a long tradition of higher education dating back to 1896 when two Workings Men's Institutes merged to form the Salford Technical Institute.
Undergraduate programmes
The School offers 18 honours degrees including Business and Management Studies, Finance and Accounting, Business Information Technology and Leisure, Hospitality and Tourism Studies. All of these are full-time courses. The honours degrees courses last three years with an option for students on all courses to take a placement year between the second and final year of academic work.
The School also delivers a one-year full-time honours degree intended for students who have completed their studies to the equivalent level of a Diploma of Higher Education and a full-time Graduate Certificate for students who do not have the required academic or language standards required by the School's master's degrees. There are also two part-time programmes (Certificate of Higher Education and Graduate Certificate) intended for individuals who have work experience but no formal higher education qualifications.
Postgraduate programmes
Most master's degrees have intermediate awards and students can choose to complete a Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) or Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip). Areas of specialism currently available include International Business, Information Systems, Tourism Management, Human Resource Management and Marketing. All full-time masters courses last for one year or longer if the optional professional placement is selected.
Since September 2012 students enrolling on all of the masters programmes have had the option to do a Business Innovation Project which could include :
Six Month Work Placement: work-based learning in a suitable organisation
Assessed Internship: a one-to-three month monitored work or service/volunteer experience
Live Project: work as part of a team on a live project
Dissertation: a conventional dissertation of 12,000 to 15,000 words.
