(UK, XN6997) Browse eventsEducation is one of the greatest gifts that can be granted to an individual. It gives opportunity: the opportunity to develop personally and academically; the opportunity to make choices that would otherwise not be available; above all the opportunity to help others, whether socially, practically or by the sharing of knowledge and expertise. At the University of Bradford we are proud of our commitment to education across geographical, social and cultural boundaries and to the celebration of the diversity of the people who are educated here. We recruit the highest proportion of students from comparatively poor backgrounds and BME origins of any UK university, and more than 100 nationalities are represented amongst our 12,000 students. Our spirit is truly inclusive and internationalist. Our emphasis is, and has always been, not only on the fundamental values of a university education and equipping our students for the world of work, reflected in our motto Making Knowledge Work, but also on creating a powerful and transformative environment which demonstrates that it is possible to make a difference in the world. We work hard to help address some of society's biggest challenges. Our Institute of Cancer Therapeutics is discovering and developing new treatments for cancer, and the Bradford Dementia Group has created specialist tools and techniques to improve the care of people suffering from dementia. We were the first university to offer a degree in Peace Studies and are home to one of Europe's top 25, full-service business schools, as ranked by The Financial Times. We are proud that our alumni, staff and students are making real and tangible improvements to the world, both now and for the future. During the last Research Assessment Exercise, two-thirds of Bradford's academics were entered, of which 80% were deemed to be producing research of "international" and "world-leading" quality. Your generosity could be life-changing; funding scholarships, hardship support, learning, teaching and research facilities and ensuring that we continue to attract the very brightest students and essential research funding in today's highly competitive environment. Your contributions to The Braduate Fund will directly enhance the Bradford university experience for thousands of students and so shape the minds of the future.
