Good college experience, but there are very limited part-time opportunities.

Tips: The country is the best and most student-friendly. Some of my colleagues received the Chevening scholarship. Also, there is a Vice-Chancellor scholarship worth 4000 GBP provided to every international student at this university. One thing I can confidently say is that public transportation in the entire UK is awesome. Buses, trains and coaches are punctual and hardly it happens when they are late. The public transportation in the entire city is well-connected. Overall, I am satisfied with my university and the college.

Dislikes (Part time work): For the last 4 months, I have been looking for a part-time job here in Bradford, but couldn't succeed. Finding a part-time job and NIN job in Bradford is quite challenging. You may face racism if you are unlucky, which happened to me. But here in Bradford, there are plenty of cash-in-hand jobs, where managers order you to work for more than 30 hours per week. I will never recommend such jobs to students, and please never do it as there are chances of deportation if caught. However, there is a big city near Bradford which is Leeds, where there are plenty of jobs available. Overall, my experience of searching for a part-time job in Bradford is awful.

Advanced Biomedical Engineering MSc - Batch of 2025

Offered by The University of Bradford

Satisfied with the course and practical knowledge provided.

Tips: Students should know about scholarships modules that's it. I received vice chancellor scholarship. I'm very much satisfied with my course, the modules are interesting and new concepts too. There is no much cultural difference but you will blend in well because everyone is friendly.

Likes (Indian Food): I usually have 2-3 College days and also it is for 2 hours max. Some events are nice and some are boring. Culture is diverse so there is different type of functions going now and then which is also nice. There are various types of clubs for students sports, music skating, etc. It's fun overall.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is very friendly and they understand you really well and solve whatever problem you have. There are different types of labs which will improve the practical knowledge and you can understand the concept very well. The teaching staff is also diverse just like students.

Amazing to be an UBU graduate.

Tips: The University of Bradford is a great university where you can begin your academic career. I am grateful that I graduated from this University. The teaching management was exceptional in providing guidance and provided support throughout.

Likes (Value for money): Studying at this university is totally worth it, given that you will have enough support at the university. In my experience, academics and overall experience are value for money.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post study work visa offers a lot of scope given that you possess exceptional skills which you can demonstrate to your employee. You should do your research, build your network with employers and gain some experience by working in an industry.

Universities in the United Kingdom do not help with placements.

Tips: If one is going through a counsellor, make sure you sit with them and check each university and the area to be sure what you are getting into. Make sure the course you are planning to take is affiliated and accredited by the governing body. Most of the universities do have scholarships, I got a scholarship of 5000 pounds due to my bachelor's grades. One any apply for exams to get more scholarships. My course was pretty good but the university could have been better.

Likes (Indian Food): The area I was residing in during my university days was basically like an Asian area. I have options of Asian supermarkets, farmers markets, and Asian food when I am lazy. Though the food was not the best but one could enjoy it now and then. Indian food is a bit costly and vegetarian options are even more so.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): In the UK, universities do not help in regards with placements. They do have career cells where they help with CVs, communications skills, etc. But anything beyond this is not available. To look for a sponsored job, one needs to have a salary threshold of 42000 pounds, which, for a recent graduate with 1 - 2 years of experience, is not possible. The packages currently offered for people holding 1-2 years of experience are between 25000 - 30000 pounds.

Studying at the University of Bradford is fun

Tips: Students should be prepared to manage part time jobs along side studies. Students should be ready to bear cold temperatures and should be ready to be independent while preparing assignments. As no one will help in preparing assignments but a sincere attitude will attract your supervisors to guide you with University rules and guidance in preparing assignments and reducing the plagiarism in your assignments. There is a lot of fun during study time and other activities.
