Important update for applicants from Pakistan:
The University of Bradford has temporarily paused applications from self-funded postgraduate taught students from Pakistan for the following subject areas for upcoming intakes (undergraduate and PhD excluded):
- Business (including all on-campus courses within the School of Management)
- Law
- Social Sciences
- Computing
We are also unable to continue processing existing applications in these subject areas from self-funded postgraduate taught students who have not yet reached the CAS stage.
This decision has been made following a review of our international recruitment activity and our responsibilities as a UKVI Student Sponsor. Recent changes to UKVI requirements, alongside increased visa refusal rates, mean that we have taken this precautionary measure to protect our Student Sponsor Licence while we continue to monitor our performance data.
This pause is expected to be temporary and will be reviewed regularly. The latest updates will be published on this page.
This change does not affect:
- Current students already studying at the University of Bradford.
- Fully sponsored students, undergraduate and PhD applicants.
- Students progressing from the University of Bradford International College (UBIC) to the University of Bradford, subject to meeting progression and financial requirements.
- Students who have already been issued with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), who may continue with their visa application and plans to study at Bradford.
