The University campus provides an international learning environment along with excellent leisure facilities and opportunities to become involved in exciting extra- curricular activities. Our campus has won awards for its sustainability and our new student accommodation, called The Green, is currently the most sustainable building in the world.

When you’re planning your budget for UK study, it’s not just course fees you need to think about. You need money for accommodation, utility bills, council tax, food, books, equipment and, of course, a social life. The UK Border Agency considers that students living outside of London will require approximately £800 per month for their living expenses. For visa purposes, as a new student to the UK, you will need to show that you have £7,200 (9 months @ £800 per month) of money in your bank account to use for your living costs, in addition to your tuition fees for the first year of your course. Most of our accommodation contracts in Halls of Residence are for 42 weeks (10.5 months). The money that you will actually require during the year will therefore need to be adjusted accordingly. We have given a few examples of typical costs below to give you some guidance.
ESTIMATED LIVING COSTS FOR 2012/2013 42 WEEKS 51 WEEKS
Accommodation depending on type £2,100 to £4,314* £2,550 to £5,239*
Food, toiletries and laundry (based on £40 per week) £1,680 £2,040
Books, stationery, photocopying and printing (based on £10 per week) £420 £510
Insurance for personal possessions £70** £70**
Local travel – if required (based on £10 per week) £420 £510
Set-up costs £300 £300
Estimated Total £4,990 to £7,204 £5,980 to £8,669
* Accommodation may be in Halls of Residence (standard rooms or en-suite rooms available) or in private housing. Halls of Residence rents usually include all utility bills. Rent in private housing is generally for room only, and costs of utility bills are additional. Please check with your accommodation provider for further details. ** Insurance for personal possessions is included in Halls of Residence rent. Rent in private houses does not include this insurance, and this cost should be included in your planning.
The costs given are estimates, and do not include any money for mobile phone/ telephone costs, leisure activities, or initial set-up costs of bedding, kitchen equipment and warm clothing. But you’ll find student discounts on everything from books, music and fashion to movies and eating out. These expenses will vary from one student to another according to your lifestyle and circumstances, as everybody is different! Remember that you will need additional money to cover these costs. The amount of money that you need also varies according to the time of year. At the start of the academic year you will need to have access to enough money to pay accommodation deposits and rents (it is best to pay these in advance), and also to buy items that you need when you first arrive. If you have any questions about living costs, please contact [email protected]

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) New treatment for cancer – from a crocus A new cancer treatment using naturally-occurring chemicals from the British autumn flowering crocus is being developed by a team of researchers at the University, which has the potential to find and completely destroy solid tumours, regardless of cancer type.
IT HELPS TO KNOW THAT WE’RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS STUFF ON-SITE AT THE UNIVERSITY. STUDENTS ARE GOING INSIDE PEOPLE’S HEADS, INSIDE PEOPLE’S EYES. IT PROVIDES REAL RELEVANCE AND IT ALSO SHOWS HOW WHAT THEY’RE LEARNING AT THE TIME IS RELEVANT FOR THE FUTURE. RESEARCH-LED TEACHING IS CERTAINLY THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE IT BUILDS ENTHUSIASM AND PROVIDES RELEVANCE. Dr Ben Whiteside, Director of the Centre for Polymer, Micro and Nano Technology

You RESEARCH DEGREES EXPLAINED will need to visit Bradford once a year to discuss the progress of your research. A research degree gives you the opportunity to determine your own field of study. Your supervisor will help formulate your research topic, and ensure you are making proper progress towards completing your research on time. Research projects are, almost by definition, unique; but certain common features apply to all. The first year of a full-time PhD is spent on an initial registration for MPhil. The year may well involve a review of the existing literature in your proposed area, and a closer definition of your research proposal and methodology, combined with formal training in research skills. If you make good progress in your first year, your registration can be transferred to PhD. If you opt nevertheless to submit for an MPhil, then your remaining work could be accomplished in the following year.

The University has grown significantly since it was granted its Royal Charter in 1966. Our subject areas have expanded since that time and are now divided into six academic ‘Schools’, which each cover a broad range of specialisms. Five of our schools are based at our city campus; the School of Management is just a few miles (4km) away and is set in picturesque parkland featuring beautiful listed buildings. 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. The module syllabuses listed in this Prospectus are correct at the time of going to print. Please check our website www.bradford.ac.uk/ieu for the latest information. Read more information about the different academic Schools and their facilities online: www.bradford.ac.uk/undergraduate and www.bradford.ac.uk/postgraduate Our academic year runs from September to the end of May. The majority of taught courses start in September (a few also have January start dates). Most of our undergraduate courses are comprised of three years of full-time study. All full-time taught Master’s and research programmes involve study over 12 calendar months. International and EU students are encouraged to attend the special programme of orientation events for International Students, which will be held throughout ‘International Student Enrolment’ and ‘Welcome Week’ prior to the start of term, normally in the middle of September.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Daniel Gonsales Kasas Business Computing (BSc) Hons I am studying Business Computing and in my opinion computing and IT are fast developing spheres of science. Students and staff at the University of Bradford have been very supportive and friendly and I am glad that I am surrounded by reliable people. I love to make new friends and my favourite place to hang out on campus is Student Central. The thing I like most about living in the city is the pace of life – everything is moving and changing really fast.
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 a 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
Divyanka Jeevanatham MEng Medical Engineering and recipient of Medical Engineering team prize ‘Best Performer of the Year’ 2009 I am a fun-loving person and my favourite place to hang out on campus is Student Central, it’s a place to relax and have fun. The best part about my course is that I get to work with people as a team, which has made me a strong team-player. Being a Course Representative has helped me to interact more effectively with lecturers and students, and this has given me a lot of confidence and independence. Bradford and the surrounding areas in Yorkshire are very scenic and beautiful and everyone is really friendly.
Patrick Siegert MSc Automotive Engineering I came to Bradford as an international direct entry student into the final year of the Mechanical Engineering BEng (Honours) course, and am currently an MSc student in Automotive Engineering. Both courses have given me more than just technical knowledge, which is definitely the University’s excellence. I have grown not only as a student but as a person and have become a more confident and more complete person.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Kevin Larkin BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy Being from Bradford I’m really familiar with the city and grew up only two miles away from the University’s city campus. I’m really proud that my city is so multicultural and I feel lucky that I have many friends from different backgrounds and cultures. I’m really impressed with the new look at Student Central and plan to spend time at weekends there to meet new people. The course has been brilliant so far and the very friendly and helpful staff are always willing to provide answers to questions. It has more than exceeded my expectations.
Elizabeth Shekalaghe MSc International Health Management As a graduate from an African country, I’ve been really impressed with the facilities which I have been able to access during my time here. I don’t think they could have been better. There has been a lot to learn, but I’ve really enjoyed my experience of Bradford, have found time to socialise and make many new friends. The city of Bradford is a great studying environment, it’s friendly and certainly not as expensive as many other UK cities. I’ve learnt so much during my time here, team working skills, time management and the experience of working with other people with similar professional interests from different backgrounds. I’m looking forward to developing my career on my return to Tanzania.

Course Introduction
Pharmacy is a broad and challenging profession in which pharmacists are key members of a healthcare team. It is a rewarding career that involves extensive contact with patients to enable them to take their medicines safely and appropriately. We are regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and have a separate leadership body known as the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. Registration as a pharmacist is conditional upon successful completion of a degree in pharmacy, one year of pre-registration training in an approved pharmacy, and passing an examination set by the GPhC. Our five-year MPharm degree enables you to undertake that training in two six-month periods as part of the degree. This enables you to undertake your professional examination and hence register as a pharmacist immediately after graduation, providing you satisfy the conditions of the GPhC.
Career Opportunities
A career in pharmacy allows you to work in a variety of different sectors such as community, hospital, industry, primary care, GP Practice, academia etc. It is an exciting time to be joining pharmacy, the role of the pharmacist is evolving with the introduction of new services and high expectations from the UK government.

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. Research Credentials In the latest research assessment exercise, 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 recently launched Centre for Managerial Excellence (CME). The Centre brings together priority themes of research excellence and management expertise within the core areas of strategic adaptation; leadership and talent management; entrepreneurship and innovation; finance and sustainability. Its business-focused research and knowledge transfer aims to address key global challenges facing local, national and international businesses. Within the CME, the School’s Enterprise and Innovation Lab 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. Furthermore, the Bradford Centre for International Business (BCIB) 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.

Professor Margaret Taylor and Professor Andrew Taylor are the academic supervisors on a knowledge transfer programme to implement an IT- based performance management (PM) system at Foundation in Leeds. This is a charity working with the kind of people that society sometimes ignores: offenders, the homeless, women who are victims of domestic abuse and young people at risk. It provides support for all kinds of challenges faced by its customers so they can realise their potential and become a part of their community. This may involve helping to manage a tenancy, find a job, tackle drug addiction or improve family relationships. Steve Woodford, ceo at Foundation, said: “Like a lot of charities, Foundation is required to produce enormous amounts of monitoring information to its funders. The KTP has enabled us to develop a single system that will reduce the burden on front-line staff but be able to report on performance clearly to a variety of stakeholders, including the trustees, managers and funders.”
Knowledge Transfer Partnership The government funds knowledge transfer partnerships (KTPs) to help organisations employing fewer than 250 people. The organisation funds a graduate salary (up to £20k) and government funding covers the costs of training, equipment, travel and academic supervision – typically worth £48k over a two- year period.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Feliks Gornischeff BA (Hons) History (Modern European) My experience in Bradford has been great. I have enjoyed my course and I feel that it has been very useful to me. It was exactly what I hoped for! I have made new friends from all over the world which has been interesting. In general, I feel Bradford is a great place for studying, with its great facilities, staff and Bradford’s cultural diversity. I am happy that I chose Bradford!
Pauline Onunga MA African Peace and Conflict Studies I am a Kenyan Masters student in the Peace Studies department at the University of Bradford. This has opened my eyes not only within the academic sphere but also by being exposed to the wonderful people of Yorkshire and the other communities living in the city. Bradford is a multicultural and diverse city with a lot to offer especially by way of Asian cuisine which I love and it doesn’t hurt the pocket too much. I have learned so much and met so many wonderful people since I started this journey in Bradford.
