Bradford College is 178 years old and has been offering a substantial range of quality Higher Education for over 30 years. With approximately 4000 students studying on over 150 undergraduate, postgraduate, vocational and professional courses, we are one of the largest providers of Higher Education in England outside of the university sector. Studying Higher Education is a big decision and an important investment in yourself and your future. If you decide that Bradford College is right for you, then you’ll benefit from courses which have a vocational and professional emphasis, a friendly and supportive environment, taught hours above those at many universities, good levels of teacher access and support and typical group sizes below those at university. As we are passionate about offering quality and affordable higher education courses, you will also benefit from tuition fees that are significantly less than what the vast majority of universities are charging. In terms of the quality of our courses, we are proud to have been awarded the highest judgement possible in a review of our higher education provision in 2010 by the Quality Assurance Agency, the body responsible for academic quality and standards in UK higher education. Bradford is unique amongst Colleges because of its breadth of provision and long history of providing higher education. It is because of this distinctiveness that we are seeking Taught Degree Awarding Powers, which is the authority to validate our own undergraduate and postgraduate courses. If approved, it is likely that this would come into effect from 2012.
