Go Beyond

Go Beyond STEM Celebration is a conference for students timed to coincide with International Women’s Day each year. The next event will be on Wednesday March 5th 2025.

Supported by Morson Group, this landmark occasion helps strengthens ties between our students and industry professionals, builds confidence, and equips students with key skills for their careers. The event brings together students from across all academic years for a vibrant STEM summit, celebrating the talent and achievements of women in STEM and showcasing the exciting possibilities within STEM fields. This year we are welcoming students from neighbouring universities Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester to join us in this celebration event.

What is Go Beyond

Launched in 2020, Go Beyond was designed to support female engineering students at the University of Salford. The programme soon expanded to include all three academic years, offering coaching sessions, industry speakers, and mentee connections with industry mentors, and a safe place for conversations. Our students gain a greater insight into industry and work-ready skills, develop an understanding for communication, and discover good practices, helping them to confidently step into a STEM career. These initiatives provide crucial guidance, inspiring role models, and a supportive environment to help students transition from academia to the professional world.
