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 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 more than 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, Design and Technology, 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.
