Begin your journey to Bradford

Your journey to university is an exciting time and Open Days are a big step in that journey.

Our Open Days are a great way to find out what it's actually like to study at the University of Bradford. They are brilliant for meeting lots of new people and experiencing a great new atmosphere.

You'll be taken on tours of our campus and accommodation, get the chance to speak to current students, and meet the academics who'll be teaching you. 

There are also plenty of talks and activities to get involved with.
