Student support and guidance
The Directors of Study and School of Management programme team provide guidance and support throughout your time with us. In particular, you are allocated a personal tutor who can help with any academic or personal problems that may arise.
You can also benefit from the services of:
- the School's dedicated Effective Learning Advisor (http://www.bradford.ac.uk/management/els)
- the University of Bradford Language Unit (http://www.bradford.ac.uk/sled/lang)
- the University of Bradford Careers Service (http://www.careers.brad.ac.uk) and

The pursuit and celebration of diversity are a central part of our mission statement. In The Guardian newspaper's 2005 league table of UK undergraduate business-studies courses, we equalled the top score for inclusiveness - a measure of our ability to attract under-represented groups such as disabled, mature and ethnic-minority students to our undergraduate courses. If you are from one of these groups, you can be certain that you will be offered appropriate specialist support and guidance during your time with us. For example, the University of Bradford has a well established Disability Office, while international students can take advantage of the support and advice offered by the University's International Office. The International Office was ranked top in its category in a recent international survey of student-support services and the Counselling Service second best among its peers.
