UB campus
The city campus of UB provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Bradford has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. Student life at UB is filled with intercultural activities, as not only local students study here, but also students from abroad. The exchange of knowledge and experience, networking and new acquaintances — all this is an integral part of studenthood.
After graduation, you can stay in United Kingdom for 1 year. This time is enough to find a job and change your student visa to a work one. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
