'Making Knowledge Work.'

Bradford is a great place to live and study. Although it is one of the ten largest cities in Britain, it is small enough to be friendly, compact enough to be easily manageable, and yet large enough to have all the facilities of a thriving, modern city. The cities of Leeds, York, Manchester and Sheffield are less than an hour away by personal transport supported by an excellent public transport infrastructure. The countryside is so close; you can walk into it from the city centre. The main University Campus is within walking distance of the City Centre. The University is based close to the city centre across three campuses; the main city campus at Richmond Road, the School of Health Studies at Unity Building, a few minutes walk away, and the School of Management, based on its own 14-acre campus two miles from the city campus.

The University of Bradford received its Royal Charter in 1966 but its origins date back to the 1860s. Today the University has around 6,300 full-time undergraduates and around 800 full-time postgraduates. The University has more than 140 degree courses at undergraduate level and around 80 at postgraduate level.

Bradford School of Management is one of Europe's leading full-service business schools, with undergraduates, MBA and other graduate students, and practising managers on executive programmes all studying on the one site.

The MBA programme is rated among the best in the world. The full-time programme was rated in the top 100 worldwide and the top ten in the UK in the Financial Times January 2003 survey. The executive programme was rated in the top 50 worldwide and the School has the prestigious EQUIS accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development and is AMBA accredited.
