Supporting new students

Starting university is an exciting time for both you and the young adults in your care. When a young adult joins us here at the University of Bradford, you can be assured they will be well-supported and looked after throughout their studies.

As well as cutting-edge facilities and expert lecturers, they will also have access to a whole host of different support services and spend their time studying in a secure and safe environment. 

Due to data protection issues, we can't speak to you directly about the young adults in your care - but be assured - they're in safe hands.

Here to help

The transition to university life is an important one, and we’re here to help, no matter what the problem may be.

Our dedicated MyBradford team have a wealth of experience and understanding to help students access the support services they need to be a success.

They will have access to:
