The University of Bradford is a public university in West Yorkshire. It received its Royal Charter in 1966, but its origins lie in a Mechanics Institute founded in 1832, which later developed into Bradford Technical College and the Bradford Institute of Technology. The university has around 11,000 students, including a large proportion of mature and first-generation students.
Bradford is based on a compact City Campus close to the centre of Bradford, and its academic work is organised into two faculties, one for Health and Social Care and one for Management, Sciences and Engineering. The university is particularly known for pharmacy, optometry, paramedic science and other health professions, for engineering, and for archaeology. Its Department of Peace Studies, established in 1973, is one of the largest centres of its kind in the world. Bradford has a strong commitment to widening participation and has repeatedly been recognised as the leading university in England for social mobility.
Information for International Students
The University of Bradford has a significant international community, with more than a fifth of its students coming from over 120 countries. A dedicated international team provides support from first enquiry through to graduation, including visa guidance and help with the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for Student visa applicants. The university runs a free airport pickup service from Leeds Bradford and Manchester airports during set arrival periods for students who register in advance. Eligible graduates may apply for the UK Graduate Route.
The typical English language requirement for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees is IELTS 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5, although some courses ask for more. The university's Language Centre offers a pre-sessional English programme for applicants who need to raise their level before starting.
Pathway programmes are delivered by the University of Bradford International College, run in partnership with Oxford International and embedded on the City Campus. It offers an International Foundation Year, International Year Zero, International Year One, International Year Two and International Incorporated Master's routes. The university does not own its accommodation, and the nearby Homes for Students development, The Green, is the main recommended option.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Bradford is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Bradford start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Bradford may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
