Foundation
The University of Bradford received its
Royal Charter in 1966 but its origins date back to the 1860s.
Today the University has around 6,300 full-time undergraduates and around
800 full-time postgraduates. Overall the University has a close-knit,
friendly atmosphere, enabling students to get to know each other quickly.
The University has almost 140 degree courses at undergraduate level and
around 80 at postgraduate level. These are spread across the 7 Academic
Schools of Archaeological and Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Health
Studies, Informatics, Life Sciences, Management, and Social and
International Studies. Part-time and short courses are available through
the University's School of Lifelong Education and Development.
The University of Bradford has a reputation for making students from other
countries feel welcome. Overseas students currently make up 11% of our
total undergraduate population, with half of those coming from outside the
EU, studying courses across all the University's departments. The presence
of so many students from so many different countries and culture s helps
create a stimulating environment for everyone in the University.
History
The City of Bradford is a surprising place.
If you take a minute, you'll see a city that is vibrant, historic, forward
facing, cultural and green. A 10 minute drive or train journey
will take you into the beautiful countryside and into popular tourist
places such as Saltaire and Haworth.
Bradford is a great place to live and
study. Although it is one of the ten largest cities in Britain, it is
small enough to be friendly, compact enough to be easily manageable, and
yet large enough to have all the facilities of a thriving, modern city.
The social scene in Bradford has taken off
in a big way over the past year or two. There has never been a shortage of
pubs and clubs for the beer thirsty student but there are now more reasons
than ever to venture down the hill and into the City Centre.
