Fitness and wellbeing
Taking care of your health and wellbeing is important.
There are loads of things you can do to look after yourself at university. Learn more about the wellbeing services and facilities available to you at Bradford.
Unique Fitness
Unique Fitness is our on-campus gym. As a member you can enjoy access to the swimming pool, sports facilities, fitness classes and personal training sessions. There are also spaces available to hire.
Memberships start from £15 per month, or £150 a year for University students. This includes use of all facilities. There's no joining fee or cancellation fee.
Sports
The University of Bradford Students’ Union has over 20 sports clubs to choose from. These include football, swimming and archery.
Joining a sports club is a great way to make friends while studying. Many of the clubs organise social events and nights out, and some of them even holiday together.
Even if you've never played the sport before, you're welcome to join a club's training sessions and give it a go.
Societies
Societies are student-led groups, associations or campaigns. They're run by the University of Bradford Students' Union who have loads of opportunities for you to get involved. There are groups for hobbies and interests, academic courses, fundraising, faith, culture and more.
Make new friends, fulfil your passions and enhance your university experience by joining a society. If you can't find anything for you, you can always start your own.
Student support
You may need some form of support at some point before or during your time at university. We're here to help you reach your full potential, every step of the way.
Our friendly and knowledgeable support team can advise and connect you to our range of specialist support services.
Whether you need help boosting your academic skills, advice on careers or your finances, guidance for any mental health conditions or disabilities you may have, or simply need someone to talk to, we have the support you need.
Physiotherapy and Sports Rehabilitation Clinic
Our Physiotherapy and Sports Rehabilitation Clinic provides a full range of services to students, staff and the public within a teaching environment.
Second and final-year undergraduate students staff the clinics whilst under the supervision of experienced Physiotherapists and Sports Rehabilitators. This means that sessions have very reasonable rates to give everyone the opportunity to access them.
Find out more about the services offered through our Physiotherapy Clinic.
Eye clinic
Our Eye Clinic provides a full optometric service to students, staff and the public.
Like any opticians, the primary care clinic offers comprehensive eye examinations (sight tests). You'll have a detailed assessment of your eye health, screening for diseases that may affect the eyes and vision. If needed, you'll also get a prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
Eye tests take place in a teaching environment staffed by final-year undergraduates, supervised by Registered Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians or Orthoptists.
Find out more about our on-campus Eye Clinic. Free eye examinations are available to all our students.
