About The University of Bradford
Address and Location
The University of Bradford is a public research university in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The university is set over two campuses; one in Bradford city centre, and a school of management on the outskirts of the town.Background and History
The university's origins date back to 1832 and the founding of the city Mechanics Institute. In 1882 the institute became Bradford Technical College and then, in 1957, Bradford Institute of Technology, allowing it to run Higher Education programmes. Construction of the Richmond Building, the largest on campus, began in 1963. A Charter of Incorporation was granted three years later, thereby creating the University of Bradford as it is today.Location and Accessibility
By Road: Bradford is accessible from all directions using the M62 and M606. From the M606, turn left into Horton Grange Road, then left again into Legrams Lane.
By Rail: Bradford Interchange and Forster Square stations are well connected to the National Rail network, although journeys from most directions involve changing at Leeds. Most services arrive at the Interchange, from here, the university is a 15-minute walk away; turn left into Bridge Street, walk through the city park and past the Alahambra Theatre to reach the campus.
Accessibility: The majority of facilities are wheelchair-accessible; students are advised to get in touch with the university Disability Service to discuss their requirements before applying. The university is currently working to extend the hearing loop network on campus.
