I really like Bradford, I think it’s one of my favourite universities

I’ve been to so far. Bradford’s given me a lot more information than most and the fact they’ve aimed information at parents as well as me has helped. I’m looking at

doing International Relations and Security Studies. It’s been quite

hard looking for universities that do that course. I think the actual

campus has surprised me, I didn’t expect it to be like this, I really like the place! I like the

way most things are all together, on one campus.

Tackling global challenges

Making Knowledge Work. 50 years of academic excellenceAs an outstanding, forward-thinking technology university celebrating 50 years of academic excellence, science, technology and innovation are not only in our roots but play a part in all our disciplines - Healthcare, Life Sciences, Engineering, Informatics, Social Sciences, Management and Law. Some of the world’s best universities are technology universities and this technology is used to enrich people’s lives; but what really drives us at the University of Bradford is the idea of bringing a positive difference to people’s day-to-day lives in a technology-based world.

The University’s mission is ‘Making Knowledge Work’. It is what we stand for.

Tackling worldwide challengesThe University is at the forefront of groundbreaking research and making a positive impact on society

The world is facing major challenges – ill health, poverty, climate change, energy and water supply, and food security are global, systemic, and complex problems, and we are actively engaged in the pursuit of solutions to worldwide challenges such as these that can provide a deep understanding of science, engineering, and social, political, and cultural behaviour.

We pride ourselves on our courses which impact directly on society and our inspirational lecturers who bring real-world experience from industry; themselves at the cutting edge of research, who are bringing breakthrough science to cancer, using technologies to detect a ‘super-henge’, or leading large UN missions.

Rich past, exciting futureWe are an international, forward-thinking university celebrating a rich past.

The history of the University dates back to 1832 when it was originally founded as the Mechanics Institute to help develop technical expertise that was relevant for the workplace during the Industrial Revolution. This paved the way for the Bradford Institute of Technology. In 1966, a Royal Charter was granted and the University of Bradford was born.

Today, a fifth of our students are from outside the UK and they represent more than 130 different countries, brought together in one place of learning excellence to tackle the challenges of today’s society.

Preparing our graduatesWe are proud of our academic excellence that gives you a real-world learning experience.

The University’s extensive network of trusted industry contacts gives you access to excellent work placement opportunities to experience your chosen career first-hand. This will not only give you the confidence to succeed but an important edge in a fiercely competitive graduate job market.

National recognition that honours our world-class excellence and achievement.

Our leading work in developing person-centred dementia care, and influencing policy and practice in the UK and internationally, is honoured with a prestigious Queen’s Anniversary Prize. This is the highest form of national recognition that UK higher education institutions can achieve.

Queen’s Anniversary PrizeThe University was awarded a coveted Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for its world-leading work to improve the lives of people with dementia. This is the highest form of recognition that a UK higher education institution can achieve and highlights the outstanding work that Professor Murna Downs and her team in the School of Dementia Studies have been carrying out.


T Q’A P

F H F E

I think that most people are very afraid. They’re afraid of losing

control of their lives; they’re afraid of becoming dependent and they’re

afraid of becoming a burden. So in the School of Dementia Studies we do a lot of research and make a major contribution to the evidence

about how to care for people with dementia, but we’re not

really content with that - we like to know that information we’re

learning is translated into practice.

Shaping the future

Study here and you’ll see your subject through the eyes of the people pioneering it. You’ll be exposed to the very latest ideas and innovations during your university journey – many of them so cutting edge that they won’t even be published yet.

Not only are our courses designed with industry input, they’re taught by the academic experts shaping the very future of those industries – academics who are applying their knowledge to research in order to find solutions to today’s challenges.

Bringing breakthrough science to cancer treatmentThe Institute of Cancer Therapeutics is one of a few centres nationally that has all the necessary research tools and expertise in-house to progress anticancer medicines and biomarkers from concept to the clinic. Researchers build upon over 30 years of cancer research activity at Bradford.

Archaeology - discovering ‘super-henge’Professor Vincent Gaffney from the University’s world-leading archaeology department has been instrumental in finding a new henge monument at Durrington Walls, as part of the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project. This is one of the largest known henge monuments and was revealed using cutting-edge technologies.

Social work and social policy – equality and diversity in prisonsResearch carried out at the University of Bradford has directly and indirectly influenced how prisons in England and Wales respond to issues of diversity and equalities; consequently impacting the lived experience of those working and residing in prisons. This six-year programme of collaborative research is led by the University’s Dr Victoria Lavis from the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Social life in Bradford thrives in the multitude of small, independent bars and restaurants dotted around the city centre, which, once discovered, will become like a second home. You’ll also find an abundance of art, music and theatre on your doorstep with a wide variety of venues within a few minutes’ walk of the City Campus.

The city’s restaurants serve up a delicious menu of world cuisine including Polish, Chinese, Italian and Middle Eastern, while our famous curry houses earned Bradford the title of Curry Capital of Britain for a record-breaking fifth year in a row in 2015!

In the heart of beautiful YorkshireBradford lies at the heart of some of the most stunning and dramatic scenery anywhere in the UK, with miles and miles of unspoilt countryside to explore just a short bus or train ride away. Situated on the edge of the Pennines, the City of Bradford district borders the Yorkshire Dales National Park and features popular tourist attractions such as Brontë Country, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire, and the famous Ilkley Moor.

The city’s central UK location and excellent transport links (see ‘Getting Here’, page 71) mean even more attractions lie slightly further afield, including the cities of Leeds and Manchester, the beautiful Yorkshire coastline and the Peak District, Lake District and North Yorkshire Moors National Parks.

2014 saw the 1st and 2nd stages of the famous Tour de France passing through West Yorkshire, putting the region firmly on the international map, with the Tour de Yorkshire, now an annual event, following in its cycle tracks in 2015.

Theatre in the Mill is part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio - a group of arts organisations across all art forms who receive funding from the Arts Council because they are deemed central to the delivery of the arts in England and who represent some of the best arts practice in the world.

Fellowships in the Arts have played a central role in the University’s educational fabric since it was founded almost 50 years ago, encouraging self-reliance, interaction and a broader understanding of community among the student body.

As well as offering the opportunity to watch, make and show, Arts on Campus offers a wide range of casual employment for students.

A cultural cityThe city and surrounding area is also alive with arts and cultural activities, both to take part in or be part of. The National Media Museum is one of the most visited museum attractions outside London, while the Alhambra Theatre is a major touring venue offering top West End shows, contemporary dance and ballet.

There’s also a wealth of grassroots culture to explore, from the legendary members-run 1 in 12 Club, pop-up and temporary gallery and music spaces, exhibitions and events in bars and pubs, and cross-city music festivals that make use of unique venues like Bradford Playhouse and the old German church of Delius Arts and Cultural Centre.

Fees and financial support

An investment in your future

A university education is one of the greatest investments you’ll ever make. Graduates earn an extra £100,000 on average over their working lives, but it’s not all about money.

You’ll broaden your horizons, make new friends and work out what you can contribute as a global citizen. We’ve been transforming our students’ lives for nearly 50 years.

We’ll make sure you graduate not just with academic knowledge, but also the life skills and experience to help open doors to a brighter future.

Our 2016/17 academic fees (UK and EU students)

n Standard undergraduate degrees (3 or 4 years) – £9,000

n Clinical Sciences foundation year – £9,000

n Foundation year (except Clinical Sciences) – £6,000

n Sandwich placement year fee – £900

Health-related coursesThe Government presented proposals in its 2015 Spending Review which will affect new students, in England, who start their study in the Academic Year 2017 on the following courses:

n Nursing n Midwifery n Physiotherapy n Occupational therapy n Radiography

These students will take out maintenance and tuition loans like other students rather than getting an NHS grant. Further information about fees, and about maintenance and tuition loans will be made available as soon as the Government releases further details.

Financial SupportIf you live in England or the EU then you can apply for a repayable, low-interest Tuition Fee loan.

English students can apply for a Maintenance loan (repayable), to cover living and learning costs.

There are also bursaries available for social work students (information correct as of 2016/17). Students from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have different arrangements.

Wherever you are in the UK, you can find out more information at: www.gov.uk/student-finance

ScholarshipsWe invest over £4million annually to support students on their university journey, awarding numerous scholarships to UK, EU and International students on the basis of academic excellence, personal circumstances or economic hardship.

The University has grown significantly since it was granted its Royal Charter in 1966.

During this time its subject areas have been expanded and our teaching and research expertise is divided across five academic Faculties which each cover a broad range of specialisms – the Faculty of Engineering and Informatics; the Faculty of Health Studies; the Faculty of Life

Sciences; the Faculty of Management and Law; and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Four are based on our City Campus and the fifth, the Faculty of Management and Law, is set in picturesque parkland, a short bus ride away.

Your course will belong to one of these five Faculties, and will usually be made up of tutorials, seminars, lectures and lab or practical work.

These pages will give you a short introduction to each Faculty followed by our course listings. The course information and entry criteria for our courses, as set out on the following pages, are correct at the time of going to print; however, this course information may be subject to change.

Please check our website for the most up-to-date course information: www.bradford.ac.uk/undergraduate

Employment and salary informationOur course pages online give information about the employment and salary details of our graduates six months after graduation. This is collected each year and published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).

How to applyWhat next?

Full-time studyAll applications must be submitted online via UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Your school or college will be able to advise you about making your application. Alternatively, full instructions can be found at: www.ucas.com

UCAS also provides a comprehensive guide called Applying Online which can be downloaded from the same web address. If you are not currently at school or college, or have difficulty obtaining relevant literature, UCAS can be contacted directly on 0871 468 0468, or by emailing [email protected]

For entry in September 2017, you should aim to submit your application for receipt by UCAS after September 2016 and before 15 January 2017.

Note: if you are also intending to apply to either Oxford or Cambridge, or to include applications to medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine/science, your application should reach UCAS no later than 15 October 2016.

International applicantsInternational applicants living outside the UK (EU and worldwide) may obtain advice directly from UCAS or by contacting their nearest British Council Office or similar centre. The University of Bradford also has a dedicated International Office who can advise you. Further information can be found at: www.bradford.ac.uk/international or by emailing [email protected]

International applicants need to be aware of the additional regulations that are applicable to them, particularly in relation to English Language. All students requiring a Tier 4 (Student) visa must therefore meet the Home Office’s requirements in addition to those of the University. Specifically this means obtaining a minimum of IELTS 5.5 or equivalent in all four sub-tests (speaking, listening, reading and writing) in addition to an overall level of IELTS 6.0 (or equivalent). This requirement may be higher for certain courses. Please see our website for further details. International Foundation Year applicants must obtain a minimum of IELTS 5.5 with no sub-test less than 5.0 (equivalences will not be accepted). For more information on English Language or on obtaining a visa please contact the University or visit the UKVI www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa

What next?

Entry requirements

Home and EU students

Please note that the entry criteria, as indicated in our A–Z list, are only a guide, as other non-academic factors such as your relevant skills and experience will be taken into account when considering your application.

However, GCSE English at a minimum grade C (or the equivalent) is a standard requirement for all courses, while GCSE Mathematics at a minimum grade C is required for many more.

Offers will be based on the UCAS Tariff (see UCAS Tariff points table on page 65). Many of our courses ask that you have studied specific subjects to A-level standard or the equivalent, and have gained particular grades (e.g. grade B in Chemistry for our Chemistry degrees; at least grade C in Mathematics for our BEng/MEng Engineering degrees). These typical offers are only a guide, as factors other than academic achievement will be taken into account (for example, evidence of relevant experience, skills or ability) when considering your application.

Some of our courses require an interview as part of their selection criteria. Full details are online at: www.bradford.ac.uk/undergraduate

All students whose first language is not English need to demonstrate a minimum standard in English language such as IELTS 6.0 or the equivalent, with no sub-test less than 5.0 (higher than this for certain courses). Please see page 66 for details of our English requirements for applicants requiring a Tier 4 (Student) visa.

All course information in these pages is correct at the time of publication, but is subject to change.

More detail about each course – and its specific entry requirements – can be found in our full undergraduate course information online at: www.bradford.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses

The new UCAS Tariff will be used for

courses starting from September 2017.

This Guide has been drafted in advance of the academic year to which it applies. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in this Guide is fair and accurate at the time of publication. It is issued for the general guidance of students looking to study at the University of Bradford from September 2017, rather than being definitive. We will use our best endeavours not to make any changes to our academic programmes; however, we recognise that exceptionally some changes may be necessary for the benefit of our students or to comply with external requirements. All changes will be made in line with the University’s programme approval, monitoring and review procedures as set out in the Academic Quality Handbook at www.bradford.ac.uk/academic-quality-handbook

Major alterations to courses will be communicated to applicants as appropriate.

The University welcomes comments on its programmes from students, parents and other parties. Email: [email protected]
