With 50 years of academic excellence behind us as a University, we have continued to grow our international reputation and course provision. We have always been pioneers in developing new course subjects, reflecting and anticipating the needs of employers, our students, and of society as a whole. Bradford was the first university outside London to offer part-time degree courses, and our courses are designed in response to the changing business, social, scientific and environmental landscape.
From the first modern Business School, which has an international reputation, to the first Peace Studies degree, we continue to offer relevant, practical and useful learning for all our students. Today our associations with employers have expanded across the globe. Our collaborations range from associations with local employers through our employer engagement initiatives, to overseas partnerships including those in Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Pakistan and India.
The University of Bradford is a technology university with great strengths. Our ambition is to build on our heritage and these areas of strength, and to be a world leader in: The creation of knowledge through fundamental and applied research. The dissemination of knowledge by teaching students from all backgrounds. The application of knowledge for the prosperity and well-being of people.
Our vision needs to be realised in the complex external context described above, and in line with our underlying fundamental values. Our values describe our expectations of the ways in which we will operate and how staff, students and visitors behave towards each other. We will create opportunities for everyone to reflect on how they demonstrate these values and we will challenge behaviours that do not align with our agreed values, which are as follows:
We have developed three overarching academic themes, which we will use to frame decisions about developments in teaching and learning, research and knowledge transfer, and to guide our partnerships. The University of Bradford is well known for its commitment to equality, diversity and inclusivity; and for its friendliness and interdisciplinarity. We believe that a vibrant intellectual atmosphere derives from a mix of people from different backgrounds.
We aim to balance academic, social, financial and environmental concerns. We want people and society to benefit from our activities, while ensuring financial viability by maintaining surpluses and cash flow, and minimising environmental impacts. There is no merit in running an outstanding university which becomes financially insolvent or destroys the environment. We are proud of having a world-leading eco-campus.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Great University. The city itself can be a little bit harsh, especially at night time, but the city campus is pretty safe. If you consider the balance of life cost and the quality of education, University of Bradford is a way to go. Great cultural diversity among students and staff, great career opportunities after graduation.

Studied here, overall it is a good uni, few nasty lecturers who were racist and disrespectful, although majority were very respectful and supportive.
