About Bradford

The University of Bradford was the first higher education institution in the UK to open a modern business school and the first outside London to offer part-time degrees. It was also the first British university to open a Department of Peace Studies, in 1973, and Bradford now boasts the largest higher education centre for the study of conflict resolution and peace in the world. The Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) also highlighted strengths in archaeology, engineering, accounting and allied health. Bradford itself is a welcoming, inclusive, and diverse city, and was recently named UK City of Culture 2025. It is also the first UNESCO City of Film.
