University of Bradford open days

Are you thinking of applying to this university?

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.

Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.

The course is interesting and the lectures are generally good. The amount of teaching time is actually very low though.

A lot of teaching provided however some extra free SDL time would be useful.

1st year student

The course that I’m doing is good on some sort, but it does get hard as the teachers don’t seem to tell us how to work out the questions and they don’t show all the working out of there questions and the expect us to go to the exams and do everything right.

2nd year student

It’s complex and difficult to understand but the cohort is small and friendly. We have really good discussions and debates during the lectures.
