2. Research Institutes.
There are two Research Institutes associated with the
2.1 Management & Management Sciences Research Institute (MaMS)
Located within the
The MaMS Research Institute has 47 full members and 28 associate members across seven research centres. Several of the centres are renowned for internationally-leading research in their areas. Most notable is the Centre for Operational Research and Applied Statistics, which was awarded 5 in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). Members from the other research centres were submitted together to the RAE 2001, to the Business and Management Studies unit of assessment and were rated 3A. The Research Institute has links with industry and governments via its research activities and project work.
The University offers a Salford Postgraduate Research Training (SPoRT) programme to equip researchers with the skills they need for success. The programme includes workshops and seminars on topics such as dissertation skills, career planning, intellectual property rights and surviving the viva. In addition the RI offers postgraduate research training sessions covering a wide range of important topics such as: the PhD process and procedure, paradigms, ethical considerations in research, research design and research methodology.
All postgraduate students have a supervisor and a co-supervisor to provide academic support and to guide them towards the completion of their research project. They are also allocated a personal tutor, with whom they can discuss personal issues.
Excellent facilities are made available to postgraduate research students within the
Research interests
The MaMS Research Institute is currently organised around five existing and two newly-formed research centres:
· Centre for Economics & Finance Research
· Centre for Research in Marketing
· Centre for Operational Research & Applied Statistics (CORAS)
· Research Centre for Organisational Excellence (COrE)
· Research Centre for People, Work & Organisations (PWO)
· Centre for enterprise an Innovation research
·
The members of the Institute are active in organising international conferences and regular seminars, such as:
• European Conference on Intelligent Management Systems in Operations
• IMA Conference on Mathematics in Maintenance
• IMA Conference on Mathematics in Sport
There are many research projects covering the range of the research interests within the Institute. Members of the Research Institute are particularly active in supervising PhD students and currently there are around 70 PhD students at different stages of research development.
2.2 The Informatics Research Institute (IRIS)
The Informatics Research Institute has a membership of 74 full and associate members.
The Institute hosts three research centres:
· Centre for Future and Emerging Technologies – Research and Application (CFERA)
· Information Systems, Organisation and Society (ISOS)
· Higher Education Research Centre (HERC)
The IRIS Mission:
IRIS is concerned with Information, Technology, People, Organisations and Society to build a sustainable future.
The Research Institute recognises that this vision of building a sustainable future can only be realised through active collaboration between the three research centres, which span the continuum from ‘soft’ to ‘hard’ systems research and are balanced to ensure that theoretical concepts translate to real world practice.
The three IRIS Research Centres are organised logically to encompass the necessarily diverse range of topics under investigation. It is recognised that they are not mutually exclusive and fragmented; rather that knowledge from one Centre is valuable to the research endeavours of the others.
A culture of sharing of results is therefore actively pursued, resulting in cross-collaboration which takes place across three deeply interrelated themes:
· Enabling Information and Communication Technologies:
This theme recognises the need to develop technological artefacts and systems and apply them in real-world practice:
- Emphasising the development of technological solutions applied to real-world problems in a range of contexts including construction, cultural heritage, food and manufacturing
- Focusing strongly on the interaction between the information-driven technologies and the human environment
- Addressing a spectrum of technologies ranging from communications infrastructure, visualization, advanced robotic devices and haptic devices, through to the tools and techniques for managing the information and knowledge that control and drive these technologies
· Critical and Interpretive Research:
This theme deals with the intellectual foundations and comprehension of informatics research:
- Addressing the social and organisational aspects of the development, implementation and use of ICT and seeking to develop frameworks for understanding the field.
- Developing understandings of the philosophical, ethical and theoretical underpinnings of Information Systems research
- Contributing to the ongoing debates on the nature and evolution of the Information Systems field, with increasing reference to philosophy.
· User and Organisational Experiences with Information Systems:
This theme is concerned with information and ICT as an integral part of the life of users and organisations:
- Living with ICT
- Organisational experiences with information and the adoption of ICT
- IS Development
- Collaborative Working.
IRIS, through its various research centres, is conducting leading edge research supported by a doctoral school of international acclaim. Its achievements in terms of published refereed conference and journal papers, funded research (nationally and internationally), and postgraduate research, gives it a significant presence in the field of Informatics.
3. Programme Guidelines.
3.1 Aims and intended learning outcomes of the programme.
The programme is developed for students with a background in business or business related studies who wish to specialise in HRM with a view to pursuing a career as an HRM practitioner either as a functional specialist or in other areas of management which involve a significant people management responsibility. A special feature of the programme is its international focus. The programme aims to:
Develop the effectiveness of the individual as a manager of people by developing specialist knowledge and the application of HRM theory.
Equip students with the knowledge to select effectively, motivate, manage and reward employees to maximise their potential and the potential of their respective organisations.
Develop students as reflective practitioners to develop their own learning and development capabilities.
3.2 Programme structure, including details of module choices and pathways.
The structure of the programme is as follows:
Semester 1 (weeks 1 – 12)
People Resourcing (core) (15 M Level credits)
Strategic Management (15 M Level credits)
Human Resource Development (15 M Level credits)
Organisational Behaviour (15 M Level credits)
Business Research – Part 1
Weeks 13 – 15 Revision and Assessment
Semester 2 (Weeks 16 – 27)
Strategic HRM (core) (15 M Level credits)
Comparative Industrial Relations (15 M Level credits)
International HRM (15 M Level credits)
Business Research – Part 2 (15 M Level credits)
Weeks 28 – 30 Revision and Assessment
Final Stage
Research Dissertation (60 M level credits). A piece of original research. The subject matter must fall within the scope of the named degree
3.3 Teaching, learning and assessment methods.
A variety of techniques are employed including lectures, class discussion, seminar workshops, case studies and the development of the application of knowledge through Master Classes. Bibliographies outline core and supplementary reading and specific HR journals will be used in addition to extensive reading lists and use of electronic sources of information. Your point of contact in Information Learning Services (Library) is Sue Barker-Mathews (S,C,Barker-Mathews@salford.ac.uk)
Good use will be made of group discussion and group projects with individual and group presentations and Tutors acting as mentors.
Great emphasis is placed on both individual student self-learning and group/team learning. Sharing knowledge based on student work experience and business cultures is actively encourged.
Assessment across the programme is evenly divided between examinations and in-course assignments, i.e. 50%/50%.
3.4 Study skills.
You need good Academic Learning Skills because they support successful academic study and achievement. Good academic skills enable you to be better organised, read and make notes effectively, research and produce essays and be better prepared for exams. These skills can be acquired and developed to help improve your performance.
The Academic Learning Skills Programme provides an opportunity for everyone, regardless of experience or knowledge, to learn about different approaches and techniques to improve academic achievement.
This site http://www.edu.salford.ac.uk/academic-learning-skills/ offers a wide range of information on the provision available at the University for students and to help staff in their support of students. This includes:
One to one provision for students.
Support for schools throughout induction and the remainder of the academic year.
Academic Learning Skills resources for both staff and students Staff development.
For more information please contact ac-skills-edu@salford.ac.uk or phone 0161 295 2340.
Personal Development Planning
Fundamentally, the purpose of Personal Development Planning (PDP) is twofold. Firstly, to encourage all students to make the most of their opportunities in Higher Education by helping them to reflect systematically on the development of their skills, knowledge and experiences. Secondly, within this context PDP aims to encourage students to develop clear ideas and plans about future directions after graduation.
PDP is about structured and supported processes undertaken by individuals to reflect upon their own learning, performance and/ or achievement and to plan for personal educational and career development.
Within the undergraduate programmes PDP forms part of the curriculum.
Within the postgraduate programmes, PDP is undertaken by the use of an online resource. This resource gives postgraduates the opportunity to work independently and to choose topics which may be relevant at a particular time. PDP is not currently assessed, but there is a legal requirement that PDP opportunities are given to all students. Most companies now operate some kind of PDP policy and exploring the online resource will enhance the experiences of industrial PDP.
The University online resource can be accessed at:

Learning how to learn
As well as the advice above, there are other sources of help for you to improve your study skills.
Watch out for details of the Peer Mentoring Scheme. There may be sessions laid on in your programme induction, on Study Skills, or Projects or Dissertations. Be sure to attend these, they are invariably useful. The Educational Development Unit run sessions (including Saturday Skills Schools) and offer resources, e.g. a number of on-line study packs in the areas of:
1. Getting organised
2.
3 Report writing
4 Essay writing
5 Revision and exam techniques

4. Assessment Requirements.
4.1 Formal assessment of modules
Assessment scale
At Level 0, 1, 2 and 3 student performance in examinations and coursework shall be assessed and recorded as a percentage mark, according to the marking scale below:
Degree Marking System HND Marking System
Outstanding 90% – 100% 75+ = Distinction
Excellent 80% – 89% 70-74 = Distinction/Merit
Very good 70% – 79% 65-69 = Merit/Distinction
Good 60% – 69% 60-64 = Merit
Fair 50% – 59% 55-59 = Merit/Pass
Adequate 40% – 49% 50-54 = Pass/Merit
Unsatisfactory 30% – 39% 40-49 = Pass
Poor 20% – 29% 35-39 = Pass/Referral
Very poor 10% – 19% 25-34 = Referral
Extremely poor 0% – 9% 0-24 = Fail
At Level 0, 1, 2 and 3 grade descriptors, which have been developed by the School and which elaborate on the levels of performance identified in the marking scale above in terms of disciplines, are used to inform marking.
At Masters Level (Level M) student performance in examinations and coursework shall normally be assessed and recorded as a percentage mark but may be assessed and recorded as a pass/fail grade. The means used to record performance shall be stated in the module specification (where the means is not explicitly stated it is deemed to be a percentage mark), (see Regulations for Taught Programmes 4.1.3(b)).
Where a student does not submit work ie, does not submit coursework, attend an exam or participate in some other form of assessment then a non-submission (NS) shall be recorded.
4.2 Assessment schedule
Dates of the University’s examination periods are includes in Appendix 1.
Further Information on examinations and assessments is available at
http://www.academic.salford.ac.uk/student_administration/assessments/
4.3 Progression requirements and Award classifications.
It is in your interests to understand the progression and awards guidelines for your degree. Your personal tutor will try to answer any questions for you but you should have a basic understanding of what the requirements are for you to progress through your Programme and finally gain an award. The University now operates standard regulations across all taught programmes, see:
http://www.aqs.salford.ac.uk/academic_regulations/academic_regulations_2008-09.pdf
Details of frequently asked questions on these regulations can be found at:
http://www.aqs.salford.ac.uk/FAQs.php
5. Assessment Procedures.
Students are required to observe conditions laid down by
· Social Space on the 2nd floor for postgraduates
· Corridor of the 6th floor for undergraduates
Always hand in your assignment in person rather than passing it on to someone else to hand in on your behalf. You will receive a receipt via Blackboard for all the work you hand in and this must be retained as proof of submission.
The coursework will not always be returned to you and you will be expected to keep an electronic or paper copy of all your work.
When submitting work, you should fill in the assignment hand-in sheet (available from School Offices (Maxwell 225 and 626) and the Salford Business School Intranet (
The University policy on late submission is available on the University Intranet. Many years of experience tells us that allowing late submissions can often disadvantage the students by increasing time pressures for subsequent assignments and revision for examinations. The advice is “Be realistic about what you can achieve, and submit on time.”
Where coursework is submitted late the following penalties shall be applied to the mark for that work:
(a) if the work is up to 7 calendar days late then 10 marks shall be deducted, but if the work would otherwise pass then the mark for the work shall be reduced to no lower than the pass mark for the module;
(b) if the work is between 8 and 14 calendar days late then 20 marks shall be deducted, but if the work would otherwise pass then the mark for the work shall be reduced to no lower than the pass mark for the module;
(c) if the work is a fail and is up to 14 calendar days late then no penalty shall be applied;
(d) if the work is graded and is up to 14 calendar days late then no penalty shall be appled;
(e) if the work is more than 14 calendar days late then it shall be regarded as a non-submission (NS).
5.2 Plagiarism Policy
The University has a clear policy on academic misconduct that includes plagiarism (taking the work of another person or source and using it as if it were one’s own), collusion, falsifying experimental or other investigative results, taking unauthorised material (including electronic devices) into an examination, contracting another to write a piece of assessed work, copying from another person during an examination.. For more details, see The Conduct of Assessed Work (Academic Good Conduct) at
http://www.salford.ac.uk/policies_procedures/display.php?id=255
All students are reminded that the university takes allegations about the use of unfair means in examinations and any other forms of assessment very seriously. If such an allegation is found to be justified then the student(s) concerned risk being expelled, or at least receiving a mark of zero for the module concerned. The penalties increase in severity from Level 1 to Masters.
You need to understand the above definition so that you can avoid any accusation of plagiarism. In recent years, there have been several cases with serious consequences for students, and there is a commitment amongst staff to root out plagiarism to ensure fairness to those students who do their own work. Some students expose themselves to accusations of plagiarism by their poor use of references. Obviously any work that you submit should be your own, and you can safeguard yourself by understanding how to use your information sources and how to attribute the work of others. At this level, it is essential that you observe scholarly conventions for the attribution of the work of others.
When you write your reports you must acknowledge any books, papers or articles you have used, and any ideas that are not your own. Any adequate piece of work will require some reproduction of previous work, and this is acceptable (indeed is approved of, being evidence of research on the part of the writer). However, you must acknowledge the sources you have used. If you take any text in word-for-word form then you must make clear that it is a quotation. Where you use ideas from the work of another person (as you will when you conduct information searching) then you must also attribute the reference within the text, and in the reference list at the end of your work.
Unless specifically directed otherwise by your module tutor, you should use the Harvard style of referencing. There are many online and print guides to referencing, including: http://www.ils.salford.ac.uk/help/general/bibcit.pdf (print version) and http://www.ils.salford.ac.uk/help/general/bibcit/index.htm (interactive version)
http://www.lib.monash.edu.au/tutorials/citing/ (choose Harvard).
Postgraduate Dissertations
You are eligible to proceed to dissertation once you have achieved 120 credits at M level (i.e. once you have successfully completed all of the taught elements on this programme). Once you have reached this stage you will be required to write a research proposal which should be submitted to the
appropriate Dissertation Co-ordinator. A dissertation supervisor will be allocated to you as soon as your research proposal has been approved.
If you are undertaking the final 60 credit stage of a Masters programme, the project stage, you are entitled to two extensions. The length of the first one is one-third of the approved length of the programme, so if you are on a full-time 12 month programme you will be entitled to an extension of 4 months. The length of the second extension is one-sixth of the approved length and you will be asked to pay an additional fee for this second extension. If you are unable to complete your project during one of these extensions because of illness or some other urgent and reasonable cause, you should submit a PMC (personal mitigating circumstances) according to the normal procedure.
5.3 Personal Mitigating Circumstances
Inevitably, a few students will experience unanticipated problems and events that impact on their study and assessment. To deal with such situations, the University has developed a policy on dealing with students’ Personal Mitigating Circumstances (PMC). Notes for guidance for students can be found at:
http://www.academic.salford.ac.uk/aqa/sections/24a_pmc_guidance_notes for_students.pdf
The following advice has been prepared to help you with your submission by pointing out important aspects of the existing process in a relatively informal manner.
i) The first and most obvious piece of advice is to read the regulations carefully. If you do not have a copy, your Programme Team should be able to help. By having a clear set of guidelines for everyone to follow, the PMC process is made transparent to all so that those who submit PMCs and those who do not submit, know that there is a fair and open process. But the cost of the new approach is that the rules are strictly applied. It is your responsibility to read and conform to the rules. If you have any doubts about the process, you must consult your programme manager.
ii) You must submit your PMC and supporting evidence by the appropriate deadline. Your PMC form and supporting evidence will be considered by an independent panel of staff who will make a judgement as to whether your PMC will be accepted or rejected. They are required to make a judgement on the evidence before them and must not include personal knowledge of you or your case which they may or may not have. Once you have submitted your case, no further actions are required from you. The Panel will make its judgement based on a number of factors including: is there convincing evidence to support your case? Are the circumstances sufficiently severe to have had a definite effect? Does the period affected by your circumstances correspond in time with dates of your assessments? Could your circumstances have been avoided? Of course, staff will as always listen sympathetically to your problems, but they are not allowed to start acting on your behalf. Again the intention is to be even handed and fair to all.
iii) In view of point 2, please appreciate that your PMC submission and the evidence that accompanies it is really important. Central to your submission must be a full explanation as to how your studies were affected by the unfortunate circumstances. If possible this must be supported by evidence. It is not enough for you merely to cite an event and assume that the PMC will be accepted. What you perhaps will not realise is that there are many students who study in the most difficult of circumstances who nevertheless feel that their studies have not been materially affected and do not submit a PMC. Circumstances, events, accidents alone are not enough to justify a PMC. As the Panel is unable to make value judgements as to the effect of a particular event, you must explain in detail how you were affected – even though you may think that your explanation is obvious, ensure that it is fully explained and supported by evidence.
iv) Finally it is worth stressing the need for independent and if possible, professional evidence of the effect on your studies. Evidence supported by a note from a doctor or counsellor greatly helps your case. Missing an examination or missing a deadline for submission of an assessment is a serious matter. Generally doctors will not provide medical notes for minor illnesses or provide them retrospectively – therefore, if you are so ill that you are unable to attend an examination or submit an assessment it is very important that you see a doctor who can provide evidence of any significant illness or event that has seriously affected you over the period in question. It is particularly important that your evidence confirms that you were unable to attend an examination on that day. If this advice provides you with an extra incentive to seek help, then so much the better! Everyone likes to think that they can cope with their problems without help; but if your studies are being affected to the point of missing deadlines and examinations, extra help is needed.
The process is designed to be transparent and fair to all. The cost is that you have to spend time filling out forms carefully. All staff are very sympathetic in their attitude to student problems and are therefore keen that you present them in a full and well supported case.
PMC Submission Procedure 2008/09
If you have personal mitigating circumstances which you wish to be considered by the School’s PMC Panel:
a) Collect a blank PMC form from either the postgraduate office (M225), the undergraduate office (M626) or the assessments office (M520). If you need further advice on how to complete this form go to:
http://www/academic.salford.ac.uk/aqa/sections/24a_pmc_guidance_notes_for_students.pdf
and read the “Frequently Asked Questions” which should have been given to you by the administrator when you collected the blank PMC form.
b) Complete your PMC form fully, attach evidence as appropriate, and hand in to the undergraduate or postgraduate office as soon as possible. Do not wait until the PMC deadline date. If your PMC form is in respect of late submission of coursework, you MUST hand in your PMC with your completed coursework as soon as you are able to do so. If your coursework is handed in more than 14 days after the submission date, this becomes a NON-SUBMISSION. You can still hand in a PMC about your non-submission, but you will not be able to hand in your coursework.
c) If your PMC is in respect of absence from an examination or similar assessment, forms must be submitted on or by the assessment date. In cases where this is not possible, for example if you are ill at that time, the PMC form must be submitted no later than 14 days after the assessment date or deadline.
Your evidence should indicate that you were unfit or unable to attend your examination/assessment on the scheduled date. Therefore you should try to obtain evidence that confirms your claim in respect of unavoidable non-attendance on a particular date or period of time.
d) The deadline for the submission of PMCs AND evidence is:
Semester One Assessments: Friday, 30th January (4.30pm)
Semester Two Assessments: Tuesday, 2nd June (4.30pm)
Semester Three Assessments: Monday, 7th September (4.30pm)
Any PMCs submitted after this date will not be accepted by the School Offices
5.4 Coursework Guidelines and Feedback
Module lecturers provide guidance on coursework, and provide feedback to students, some of them using standard feedback sheets (e.g. Undergraduate Assignment Feedback Sheets, Postgraduate Essay Marking Template).
Students should note that any mark shown on these sheets is provisional, and subject to the decision of the Examination Board.
5.5 Assessment Results
The School will normally inform you of the results of your assessments by Individual letter. They will also inform you of any reassessment you may have to undertake. You cannot be given your results by telephone for security reasons. Details of how and when you will receive your results will be published on School Notice boards and at
http://www.business.salford.ac.uk/intranet/
6. Staff details / Sources of Help.
6.1 School/Subject personnel
Please see Appendix 1 for Programme Managers and Programme Administrators contact details. Please refer to http://www.business.salford.ac.uk for the most up to date information and a complete list of Salford Business School Staff.

6.2 Personal tutoring arrangements
All students will be allocated a Personal Tutor by their Programme Team.
6.3 Academic Appeals Procedure
The University’s Academic Appeals Procedure can be found at:
http://www.academic.salford.ac.uk/aqa/sections/36_academic_appeals.pdf
6.4 Students Complaints Procedure
The University Complaints Procedure can be found at:
http://www.academic.salford.ac.uk/aqa/sections/08_student_complaints_procedure.pdf
However, in the first instance please contact your Module Leader and/or Programme Leader. If you still feel that your problem has not been satisfactorily addressed, please address your complaint to the Associate Head Teaching, Mrs Jean Mulhall, j.mulhall@salford.ac.uk
7. Communication.
7.1 General
As well as meeting staff in class and in their offices, there are other ways of contacting them (see http://www.business.salford.ac.uk/staff/):
· Electronic mail – Remember to identify yourself by name, roll number, year and programme, as staff deal with many students day to day.
· Staff Pigeonholes – School administration staff can leave paper messages in staff pigeonholes, provided you place the message in an addressed transit envelope (available from School Office).
· Telephone – since most staff use voice mail this can be another convenient way of contacting staff.
We also need to contact you from time to time. Make sure that you keep your contact details up to date by using the University’s student self service. www.registration.salford.ac.uk/selfservice/ (See page 25)
Please make sure that you check regularly the student notice boards –these are located on the 2nd (P/G) and 6h (U/G) floors of
To access your
http://www.ils.salford.ac.uk/publica/notes/impemail.pdf.
Tutors and students can also communicate with each other via the Blackboard server at http://vle.salford.ac.uk. Your module tutor will tell you if and how s/he intends to use this resource.
7.2 Representation
You may be asked to give feedback on each individual module and on the programme itself, normally via Module Evaluative Questionnaires (See Appendix 3) and your Programme student representative. We value your constructive feedback, as it can help us to identify what we are getting right and any improvements that we may be able to make.
For further information on how the University gains feedback from its students see
http://www.aqs.salford.ac.uk/student_views/
8. Responsibilities of Students.
8.1 Attendance requirements
There is a strong correlation between attendance and student achievement, and you are expected to attend lectures and other sessions provided for you. Although you may feel that you have already covered some of the work in a module, it may not be to the depth necessary in your new environment. Or it may be that you have covered it in an inappropriate manner. Whatever the case, talk to your lecturer about it; do not decide unilaterally that there is no need for you to attend that module at all. Even if you have covered the material to an appropriate depth, you should complete all the work that is set. You will probably find that there are significant gaps in your knowledge that will be exposed in an examination.
Lateness for classes
You may be prevented from entering lectures or other classes late, to avoid disruption to the class.
8.2 Student conduct
These expectations have been developed in consultation with staff and students, to provide a framework for a safe and productive working environment for all at
In no way do these expectations supersede any University regulations that apply to staff or students.
We can expect of all Staff and Students of the SBS that they:
Be polite and show respect to others.
When disagreements and disputes arise, seek to resolve these in person, rather than by email.
Check their University electronic mail address regularly, if possible once a day.
Treat the working environment - buildings, equipment and other resources - with care
Take responsibility for the work they produce by using sources effectively and attributing the work of others.

Computers and other valuable equipment could be stolen.
Students should carry their ID cards and students without a valid ID card may be asked to leave by members of staff or security staff.
Before you leave student areas, it's a good idea to check that you have not left anything of value behind - it's surprising how many books and diskettes are lost by simple forgetfulness. Security arrangements for

Student Union
We encourage you to get involved in the activities organised through the Students Union that describes itself as “… an organisation run by students for students that provides entertainment, sports facilities, leisure facilities, representation and support for students of the University. It also funds a variety of student-run clubs and societies”: http://www.salfordstudents.com/
Remember that the Student Union also offers advice services on general issues, debts, loans, academic appeals, etc. (at the Student Advice Centre, University House) as well as social and leisure issues.
Getting Around
Maps for travelling to the University are available from http://www.salford.ac.uk/travel/. Those travelling by public transport may find the following links useful, as they contain news and journey planners:
National Rail Enquiries http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
GMPTE: http://www.gmpte.com/
Sport and relaxation
Although your lecturers believe that you are at university to work hard, and will set you work in accordance with that belief, they also believe that you should take advantage of the sports and social facilities that the Students Union has to offer. We strongly advise you to take at least a day away from your academic work each week. What you do on that day will depend on your interests, but you should seriously consider taking up an activity that involves some physical effort: physical fitness often goes with the mental alertness that is needed to cope with the demands put upon you by following this degree programme.

We have a large team of staff with responsibilities for all aspects of equality and diversity. The Equality and Diversity Office is located on the Ground Floor, Humphrey Booth House. Opening Hours are 08:30 – 16:30 term-time weekdays. They can be contacted on email:
equalities-academic@salford.ac.uk or Tel: 0161 295 9000

12.2Guide for Student Reps on Committees
Student Reps act as the middle person between students in their group and staff who tries to negotiate a better deal for everyone. They are chosen by their fellow students to represent their views which gives them the unique opportunity to play a vital role within the University in general and the Students' Union.
Student Representation is essential as it provides a way for students to let staff know about any issues that they have that may be affecting the quality of their student experience. It is also essential for the Students' Union so that your elected Sabbatical Officers can represent the student voice at the higher University committees.
There are loads of benefits to getting involved, not to mention direct input into how your Programme is being run, but you can represent others and it looks great on your CV!!
There is support for Student Representative through the Student Representation Co-coordinator and the Student Liaison Representatives. If you want to be the rep for your group, speak to your tutor.
