The University of Salford is a state-owned institution headquartered in Salford, Greater Manchester, UK. Founded in 1967, it employs approximately 4,660 individuals and specializes in providing higher education.
The University of Salford recently launched a new AI apprenticeship program on July 10, 2026, aiming to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence and address the skills gap. This initiative aligns with government projections that AI could contribute up to £400 billion to the UK economy by 2030, with AI-skilled workers commanding an average 56% wage premium. Earlier, on July 9, the university's Centre for Sustainable Innovation (CSI), established in 2024, reported supporting over 400 organizations and unlocking more than £4.26 million in external funding. The CSI has also delivered over 30 cohorts of practical training, providing business leaders and entrepreneurs with skills to accelerate sustainable innovation and growth within Greater Manchester's green economy. Previously, on July 8, the first Passivhaus homes were completed in Adelphi Village, part of the £2.5 billion, 240-acre Crescent Salford masterplan, which the University of Salford is delivering in partnership with Salford City Council and ECF.
