Women in STEM

Sunday 11th February – Friday 15th March

Join us in the celebration of women and girls in STEM at Bradford College and the wider Bradford community.

Celebrating Women in STEM

In February and March, we are celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and shining a light on courses offered at Bradford College which promote inclusivity.

To celebrate this initiative, we are hosting a series of events bringing people together to participate in workshops, hear from women working in STEM fields, and film screenings showcasing how exciting it is to be studying and working in STEM.

With courses in Engineering and Science, Motor Vehicle, Maths and Computing, your time to study STEM is now.

Our Inspiring Alumni

To all the women out there who are thinking about a qualification and a career in computing at the College, I want to say that you should believe in yourself. You just need to encourage yourself to take that first step. The only failure is not trying. Sura Al-Ani Computing Lecturer and College Alumni

I think it's important to bring diversity to the field. When it comes to engineering, it's a daunting thing for women to go into, but I think we have a set of skills that we can bring that men might not have. Iqra Sadiq HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering Alumnus (2023)

You're working for construction, and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy and says, "Are you a bricky?" "Are you digging trenches?" And I say, "No, I'm a design coordinator. I work with a design team with architects." So, my advice to women would be: don't do it like them, do it like you. Fiona Doyle BSc (Hons) Construction Management (2023) and design coordinator
