The partnership, signed at the House of Commons, includes the offer of paid 3-month internships with small and medium enterprises to final year students, Masters students and recent graduates.
Santander has pledged £180,000 to the scheme through its Universities Global Division bringing its investment in careers for Salford students to nearly a half a million pounds since 2013.

Robin Foale, Managing Director of Santander Universities UK, said: “We are delighted to renew our agreement with the University of Salford. The ultimate beneficiaries of this new agreement are the students and researchers to whom, through our funding, we help achieve their academic goals.”

- Financial support for travel and mobility scholarships for students and colleagues to study or research overseas
