The University of Bradford is a research-active institution, with over 80 per cent of our research being rated as either ‘international’ or ‘world-leading’ in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). Our academic staff undertake innovative research projects, as well as teaching students. So your lecturers are not only knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, but are also breaking new ground. As a result, students are exposed to the very latest ideas, many of them so new, they’re not yet published. As well as being highly knowledgeable, many researchers are extremely enthusiastic in their area, which means active research groups and active research laboratories. As a result, students who study at the University of Bradford in those areas are given the opportunity to engage in real research environments, they see experiments, they see people working out new ideas and new theories. Track Record • Nearly 50 years of research activity • Multidisciplinary/cross-School research teams • International reputation for knowledge transfer • Ranked in the Top 50 English Universities for research funding (HEFCE 2009/10) • Over 80% of research output submitted in the most recent RAE was rated as being of an ‘international’ or ‘world-leading’ quality • Customer-focused (Customer First accredited)

The course you choose will determine which school you’ll be studying in. The schools are: the School of Computing, Informatics and Media; the School of Engineering, Design and Technology; the School of Health Studies; the School of Life Sciences; the School of Management; and the School of Social and International Studies. Most courses feature a mixture of tutorials, seminars, lectures and lab or practical work and the structure of each course is based on what is most appropriate for the academic discipline.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Hamid Jamal BSc (Hons) Media Technology and Production The University offers free up-to-date industrial-standard equipment as a loan and the facilities within the University are there for access whenever needed. I’m also working with the University on projects to help gain further experience. Currently I am a student representative, Head Editor for Bradford University TV (YouBeTV) and the official photographer for Bradford City Football Club. Taking into consideration there are only a number of universities in the UK which teach media-related subjects, the University of Bradford was one of the best choices for the type of course I was looking for with the mix of areas I wanted to expand on.
Charles Sikasula MSc Mobile Computing I chose Bradford because it was the only university that was offering this type of course in a format that I was looking for. I have a qualification in computing, but I wanted to extend my knowledge in telecommunications, the communications industries and mobile technologies. I found the topics we have been studying relate directly to the sort of things that are happening in industry, especially in 3G and 4G networks. We’ve had access to very well-equipped, sophisticated studios and laboratories, which is important because, on the Mobile Computing MSc course, we have been developing software and systems using the latest technologies. The staff are very friendly and helpful; you are dealing with people who have accomplished a great deal and become authorities in their subjects. I have found the staff to be a great inspiration.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Samantha Dickinson BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy I wasn’t satisfied with my previous career as an Internal Account Manager and wanted to do something that I have had a passion for since school, so I decided to bite the bullet and apply for Physiotherapy. I chose the University of Bradford because of the sense of togetherness across all Health Professions, and the welcoming atmosphere both on Open Days and the Interview Day. The opportunity to attend one of the physiotherapy practical sessions after the interview was the final decision maker for me, as the small number of students meant that there was a more personal approach from the lecturers. The School of Health Studies has amazing facilities available and I love it here and can say that the last 3 years have been an amazing experience. Bradford has prepared me extremely well to go out and be a competent and confident Physiotherapist.
Iqbal Hussain MSc International Health Management I decided to choose the University of Bradford for my studies for a number of different reasons. The course content was most closely aligned to my interests and my previous study. The excellent reputation of the University also influenced my choice. The University is also a very friendly place to study, with a multicultural environment. I felt totally at home during my time there. We were all able to learn from each others’ experiences and to find out more about health and social care practices around the world. The tutors were extremely helpful and provided an excellent level of student support, which really motivated me during my studies.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Andrada Padurean BSc (Hons) Financial Planning I was drawn to the School of Management because of its high ranking amongst other UK universities and mostly for its employability rate. However, as time passes, I discover there are more and more advantages for studying here. I was impressed by what the Financial Planning programme offered compared to others. What I like about the programme is that it’s not just all about numbers: it is about people, their way of thinking and behaving. Being a student at the School of Management and having well-qualified lecturers and tutors inspires and motivates me towards a brilliant career. In addition, choosing this course has allowed me to join a totally new culture, make friends from different parts of the world and learn about their traditions, behaviour and way of thinking. I find the School of Management a great learning environment.
Yogesh Golwalkar Full-time MBA I chose to come to Bradford University School of Management due to its high rankings, impeccable reputation, accreditation and the programme structure. It was reassuring to complete an MBA at one of the UK’s oldest established university-based business schools. I particularly appreciate the way the programme is designed, which allows plenty of time for class attendance, teamwork and self-study unlike some other business schools where the programme is very hectic and rushed. For me, undertaking the MBA has meant not just learning from a textbook, but also learning and sharing experiences with my classmates. As everyone is from different countries, cultures and professional backgrounds there is plenty of scope to look at problems from different perspectives for better overall management solutions. I feel the management tools, techniques and knowledge I’ve gained will certainly help me achieve my goals.

RESEARCH AT THE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
At the School of Management we undertake research at the cutting edge of management thinking through our own specialist research groups, hubs, clusters and centres. We ensure that teaching is based on the best possible knowledge and understanding of the systems, processes, practices and organisations our students will manage. Our research passes the “double hurdle” of producing academically excellent work that is also valuable and relevant to policymakers and practising business people. The School is a major player in advancing our thinking on sustainable enterprise. The School is the lead partner on the development of the University of Bradford’s world-class re:centre, designed as a hub for research, knowledge transfer, education and business activities around sustainable development. Research Credentials In the latest RAE 2008 almost half (45%) of the Management School’s research activity was assessed as being world-leading or internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour, and 90% of our research assessed was deemed to be of international standing. Research Groups and Centres All research-active academic staff are affiliated to one of our five research groups according to their area of expertise (more on each research group can be found on the following pages). Within these groupings, smaller clusters are also formed which serve cross-disciplinary specialist research interests. • Accounting, Finance and Economics • Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour • Marketing, Strategy and International Business • Operations and Information Management • Law We encourage collaborative and multidisciplinary working, knowledge transfer and application of our research through our research clusters and centres – The Bradford Centre for International Business (BCIB), the Centre for Research in Organisations and Work (CROW), the Bradford Research in Innovation, Technology and Enterprise (BRITE) Centre. The Bradford Centre for International Business provides a structure for research in international business and is developing research networks in and outside the UK. We have collaborative links and exchange agreements with 20 universities in Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the USA. The School’s Bradford Research in Innovation, Technology and Enterprise Centre brings together a network of academics, entrepreneurs and practitioners who are informed by research, inspired through teaching and engaged with enterprises to promote new and innovative approaches to business. The Enterprise also leads a portfolio of externally funded international projects and a rapidly growing cohort of doctoral students. The Centre for Research in Organisations and Work aims to bring together industrial relations issues with critical management studies thinking to create critical perspectives on current management and organisational issues.
