University of Bradford

The University of Bradford is a public research university located in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England—not the United States. It gained its royal charter as a university in 1966, though its origins trace back to the Bradford Mechanics Institute founded in the 19th century. It is known for strong programmes in engineering, health, management, and social sciences, and has a diverse student community with learners from more than 150 countries. The campus is compact and urban, situated close to Bradford city centre.
