The police was directed to a university halls of residence where a body of a 30-year-old male, who had suffered multiple stab wounds, was discovered shortly after 1pm on Monday.
A post-mortem examination will take place later to establish the cause of death of the man, who has not been formally identified.
A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being questioned by police following the find at the Cannon Street building inhabited by Salford University students.
Superintendent Mark Kenny of Greater Manchester Police said: "This is a tragic incident in which a young man has lost his life and we are doing everything we can to find out exactly what happened.
"We have now launched a murder investigation and a team of detectives will be speaking to witnesses over the coming hours and days. As part of that I want to appeal to anyone who might have information that could help us - please come forward and speak to my officers.
"I can't speculate on the motive for this crime, but at this early stage there is nothing to suggest there is a threat to the wider student population."
