You can boost your earning potential, take part in pioneering research, advance your career, and build lifelong connections in your industry.

Immar's experience of an Open Day
"All my worries and questions were answered from both the academic staff's perspectives and current students. I'm now clued up on topics such as funding, and part-time or full-time options."
- Immar, LLB Law

Travelling here
By car
If you're driving, we suggest planning your route before the Open Day and giving yourself extra time. Our on-campus parking, located at the corner of Shearbridge Road and Great Horton Road (postcode: BD7 1AY), is limited and can't be guaranteed.
Also, the city of Bradford is undergoing some exciting developments which have resulted in several road closures in the city centre. You can find out more at the Bradford Future website.
By rail
Our campus is also within walking distance of both Bradford Interchange and Bradford Forster Square rail stations if you're coming by train.
By bus
Take the 576 Bradford-Halifax bus, which leaves at regular intervals and takes around 5 minutes. Due to road closures, we recommend planning your journey using the WY Metro journey planner.
Your curiosity brought you here.
