Giving to Bradford

Be part of our future.

This unique and outstanding institution could not achieve all it does without the generosity of our donors.

Throughout our history, individuals and organisations from a variety of different backgrounds and circumstances have enhanced our facilities, teaching, and research, empowering the University to share these strengths with wider society.

We believe in making a difference in the world by ‘Making Knowledge Work’, delivering professional and vocational courses with great employment prospects for our graduates, and carrying out cutting-edge research to improve people's lives worldwide.

You can make a difference

Our alumni, friends, partners, and supporters are essential to our continuing development and success, and the University's ability to make a positive impact on society. Here at the University of Bradford, we are ‘Making Knowledge Work’ to solve some of society’s biggest challenges. We have always been pioneering in our approach, from being the first British University to offer a Peace Studies degree, to the first to set up a modern business school and the first British University outside of London to offer part-time degree courses.

The University focuses on three areas of academic priority; Advanced Healthcare, Innovative Engineering, and Sustainable Societies. Our focus on these areas prepares us to tackle pressing global challenges and enables the development of the next generation of pioneers.

There are many ways in which you can support the University from scholarships and prizes to ground-breaking healthcare research. All donations make an impact and can make a huge difference to our students, researchers, and wider communities.
