Introduction to the University of Bradford
In 1966, the Bradford College of Technology won a university charter. Its foundations lay in 19th century establishments which existed to educate workers in Bradford's textile industry. Links with the local area remain important and a high proportion of students come from close by. Bradford University cherishes mature students: in 1997-8, almost 25% of first-year undergraduates were over 22.
There is an emphasis on science and technology courses, particularly engineering, biomedical sciences, pharmacy and optometry, and the former college of technology also reflects its close ties with industry by offering many degrees with sandwich years.
Based in the city centre, most of which dates from the Victorian textile era, the university itself has modern buildings. And Bradford itself offers much that involves neither flat caps nor whippets. Close to the Yorkshire Dales, a place that breeds a special kind of person, it is also one of curry's British homelands. Beer, too, is a serious business in this part of the world.
This is an inexpensive place to live and far better to go out in than it used to be. It has also bred a number of successful alumni, including The Independent proprietor Tony O'Reilly, John Hegley and Labour MPs Alice Mahon, David Hinchcliffe and Ann Taylor. That said, the weather in Bradford is hard to like.
Make up your own mind by reading Scrapie, the student magazine, and the local paper. And remember: if you go up there you can kit yourself out without spending a fortune......
