Why choose Bradford? WHY CHOOSE BRADFORD? City and region Bradford is a vibrant, friendly, creative and cosmopolitan city with a population of over half a million people speaking around 70 different languages. With a lively nightlife and a host of shops, cinemas, sporting venues and cultural attractions, it’s also one of the least expensive student cities in the UK, offering you great value for money too. Social life in Bradford thrives in the multitude of small, independent bars and restaurants dotted around the city centre, which, once discovered, will become like a second home. You’ll also find an abundance of art, music and theatre on your doorstep with a wide variety of clubs and venues within a few minutes’ walk of the City Campus. 70 different languages spoken by the 500,000 people of Bradford BRADF B56 2016 That’s what I like about Bradford. ULRIKE SHIUAN-HORNG ERICA, PHD IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT The city’s restaurants serve up a delicious menu of world cuisine including Polish, Chinese, Italian and Middle Eastern, while our famous curry houses earned Bradford the title of Curry Capital of Britain for a record-breaking fourth year in a row in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014! 24 The city centre is like a flower – it’s blossoming. If you’re open minded you actually can get to know the world without travelling, just by making friends and knowing the people, knowing their cultures, knowing what they’re like, how they communicate.
