Overview of University 

The University of Bradford 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.  

The University of Bradford celebrates its 60th Anniversary in 2026, with a series of events and activities recognising the people and projects that have made a difference locally, nationally and globally over this time. 

We have a long-standing history of research and innovation that includes 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 BREE team delivers the Accelerated Student Enterprise Programme (ASEP), inviting students of WTUN Universities to take part in an entrepreneurship programme in Bradford, UK and Beijing, China.
