We Go the Extra Mile in HE
At Bradford College, we’re committed to going the extra mile to provide a quality and value for money learning experience for our higher education students:
Fair fees for quality degrees
Our fees for 2012 will be £6700*. We believe that this represents a fairer and more affordable alternative to what most universities are intending to charge. For some of our Full-time Foundation Degrees, we will be charging £4000*, which we believe is one of the most competitive in the region’s higher education sector. Click here for more details...
We will also offer 88 bursaries of £3000 for students who wish to progress from HNC to top-up degree or HNC to HND. Priority will be given to those who are studying Engineering, Construction and Computing.
Students who progress to Higher Education from Further Education at Bradford College will receive a discount of £500 on their fee, which will be applied to the second year of their course.**
All first year Higher Education students will benefit from discounted services at the College including laptop computers, catering and accommodation and photocopying.
Quality courses
The quality of our higher education courses was highlighted in 2010 when we were awarded the highest judgement possible by the Quality Assurance Agency, the body responsible for academic quality and standards in UK higher education. Search for a course...
Wide range of courses

Excellent student support
As we’re able to provide taught hours well above those at most universities, open- door access to qualified and experienced tutors and typical class sizes well below those of most universities, you’ll benefit from a more personal, supportive learning environment. This is one of the reasons why 89% of our students would recommend the College and their course to a friend.***
Excellent teaching
You will be taught by qualified and experienced practitioners who are highly rated by our students. In fact, 93% of our students believe that the quality of teaching on their course is good.****
Giving you the edge in making the transition to employment
Vocational relevance is at the heart of our curriculum. Work experience is integral to most of our courses as is the development of employability skills. Careers advice and planning is available throughout your course and through our relationship with local businesses, we can offer access to a range of employment opportunities.
Promoting Enterprise and Entrepreneurship
In collaboration with Bradford Kickstart, we have developed the Bradford Enterprise Academy which aims to enhance your entrepreneurial skills and increase opportunities for start-up businesses.
