In the UK, students cannot apply immediately after completing grade 11; schooling here lasts longer. Applicants must make up the academic gap. This can be accomplished in two ways: by studying for a year at a university in their home country or by completing one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.). Before submitting their documents, applicants must take an English language proficiency test. The university accepts IELTS or TOEFL scores. A TOEFL score of at least 80 is required. The IELTS score must be 6 or higher. Applicants must also take the A-Level subject exam.
The university's admissions committee always takes into account a student's previous undergraduate academic performance. Admission to UB's master's program requires proof of English proficiency. This can be achieved by taking the IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL exams. The minimum IELTS score for admission is 6. The TOEFL score is 80 or higher. UB offers the option to earn a master's degree remotely.
If you've decided to pursue a career in science and are applying to a doctoral program, you'll need to take the IELTS or TOEFL language exam. To be admitted, you need an IELTS score of 6. The TOEFL score is 80.
The university's campus is located in Bradford. This affords students all the perks of big-city life: a rich infrastructure, a wide variety of entertainment options, convenient transportation, and much more. It also offers more opportunities for internships and part-time work. However, for some students, this abundance of opportunities can be a distraction. Students have access to a library, which is an integral part of their studies. Students come here to borrow textbooks or complete homework. The University of Bradford welcomes not only local students but also students from other countries. The diversity of cultures represented broadens students' horizons and enriches student life with a variety of events aimed at cultural exchange.
What to do after graduation
Students are allowed to stay in the country for one year after completing their studies. This requires extending their student visa or applying for a job search visa.
