The Higher Education environment in the United Kingdom has changed dramatically over the last twenty years and these are interesting and challenging times for universities. Despite these challenges the University of Bradford has made significant progress, and we are proud of our achievements in the year under review. We are now on the cusp of some exciting developments.
In 2004, we launched our most ambitious Corporate Strategy with a strong focus on the student and the learning experience. Through the creation of a ‘21st Century Learning Village’ we aim to provide facilities that will attract the highest calibre of students and staff alike.
The University continues to be recognised for its achievements, and this is a reflection of our staff who help to create that success. Our commitment to Widening Participation has ensured that we continue to make Higher Education accessible to those from non-traditional backgrounds. During 2003-04 we were ranked the 3rd most socially inclusive university in the UK, but also ranked number one in the North of England and 7th in the UK for graduate employment.
This year we saw the first cohort of Foundation Degree graduates in Health and Social Care and in 2004 we were the first University to launch Foundation Degrees in Education and Training Policy and in Community Justice.
And we continue to expand our undergraduate course provision to include Psychology , Media Studies and Law.
Much has been achieved by our staff, under constantly changing times, but the next five years heralds a new era for the University. Our investment programme will transform the face of our main campus, with new accommodation for students, the building of a new centre for cancer research , and new sporting and conference facilities.
This is an exciting time to be at the University of Bradford and we continue to innovate and grow. This reflects the spirit of our University, and the commitment of our staff. I have been proud to have been a part of our current development and I look forward to the University maintaining and developing its mission for ‘Making Knowledge Work’ and offering relevant teaching programmes in an atmosphere of research.
Chris Taylor, Vice-Chancellor
