The International Media Centre (IMC) is a dynamic space that provides a unique interface between education, research, industry and community.
We are now based at MediaCityUK at Salford Quays alongside leading organisations including the BBC and ITV.
As part of the University of Salford’s School of Media, Music and Performance the IMC can draw on the creative talent of almost 100 staff and some 2100 students from across the school.
With over 20 years of alumni associated with the school, countless industry bodies, production companies, broadcasters, commissioning editors and prominent creative practitioners the IMC sits at the heart of our media engagement activity.
There are four strands to the centre: IMC Broadcast; IMC Creative Content and Management; IMC Events; IMC Training. Crossing all our four strands are research, consultancy, partnerships and student placements.
Contact the IMC if you have an interest in interacting with learning and discovery.
