The University of Bradford is one of the world’s great technology universities, providing high-quality teaching, underpinned by cutting-edge research with practical applications to solve tomorrow’s problems. The University is committed to helping all its students to lead fulfilling lives, become global citizens, and make a difference to the world.
Bradford collaborates closely with local, regional, national and multinational businesses from across all sectors of the global economy ranging from associations with local employers through its employer engagement initiatives, to overseas partnerships including those in Singapore, Poland, Malaysia, Pakistan and India. Global and local partnerships inform the University’s curriculum and provide inspirational work placements.

The programme gives you the opportunity to progress onto a wide range of undergraduate degrees across all subject areas of the University.
The University of Bradford invests over £4 million in scholarships each year, and there are a range of scholarships depending on your circumstances.
Throughout most of September, the International Office at the University of Bradford runs an orientation programme until the beginning of the term, supported by current students, as well as an International Student Information Point for more personalised advice in the first few days. The Office also has an airport pickup service and each department organises induction sessions for their subjects.
The University offers free English classes throughout the year to international students. Students can also get individual assignment support from our Language school during their study. There are many different international events promoted and organised by the International Office and Student Union throughout the year to make sure they have a fantastic time here.
