Research

Making Knowledge Work is more than just part of our logo; it's our raison d’être.

We have a superb reputation for delivering innovative, vocationally relevant courses that not only develop you as a person, but also equip you with the most up-to-date skills you'll need for a fast-changing world.

We are a research-active University so it's likely that you will be taught by or work alongside academics undertaking cutting-edge research.

In the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2001) 83%* of staff who submitted work had research of national or international significance and several of our departments received top research ratings. Much of our research is undertaken in collaboration with industry and the professions, which ensures its relevance and application.

Our students say . . .

"The best thing about being a postgraduate student studying at the University of Bradford is a sense of community in the departments. I would consider my supervisors and colleagues part of my extended family. They have offered support on an academic and personal level."
