Overview of University
The University of Bradford (UOB) is focused on creating the conditions for social, cultural and economic impact and delivering research, innovation, and teaching which shapes the futures of individuals and societies. The University strives for a world of inclusion and equality of opportunity where people want to, and can, make a difference and, as a result, to drive sustainable social and economic development through outstanding teaching, research, and innovation.
UOB has a long-standing history of research and innovation, and in April 2024, launched the Bradford-Renduchintala Enterprise Ecosystem (BREE) to nurture budding entrepreneurs from their student and staff populations as well as the local community, to develop and grow successful businesses.
The University of Bradford has launched a new campaign, “Difference is what we do” to celebrate the ways they see and think differently as an institution to drive sustainable social, cultural and economic development.
