You can access support relating to your disability, condition or impairment from the Disability Advice service email disabilities@bradford.ac.uk and a member of the team will contact you.

Yes. When you enrol with the University of Bradford you are agreeing to the terms and conditions in the Student Contract. The Contract is shown in the box on this page and there is also a link to the Student Contract page on the University website if you would prefer to read it separately. You must accept these terms and conditions if you wish to study with us.

This page also highlights that we share your information with external third parties so in agreeing to the Contract you are also agreeing to share your information with them. For a list of when we share data and why, please see the Student Privacy Notice.  

Please refer to the University’s Privacy Notices webpage to see other specific privacy notices which relate to specific services and activities and which do not routinely involve the processing of personal data of all students (e.g. the Counselling and Mental Health Service, Disability Advice, Unique Fitness, Placements etc.)

Also see the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) privacy notice for students - the 'Student collection notice'.

Please visit our Academic Excellence Scholarships page to find out more.

If you are not sure what your address will be please leave this as your home address for now. When you do know your address please amend the details in e:Vision. It is your responsibility to ensure these details are kept up to date.

In this box we are asking what type of accommodation you will be staying in whilst you are at university and whether it is owned or rented. This box must be completed before you can continue.

We ask you to provide this information so that it is available in the unlikely event that a situation arises where we consider your health, wellbeing or welfare to be at risk.  

Whilst it is your choice of whom you nominate, usually your emergency contact will be a parent, family member or guardian. Most importantly, they must be able and willing to act on your behalf in the event of a serious incident or emergency where we consider your health, wellbeing or welfare to be at risk. This person does not need to be based in the UK. (If you are  under the age of 18, at the time of re- enrolling on your programme, please ensure one of your emergency contacts is your UK Guardian). 

You should nominate at least one emergency contact but we would encourage you to provide the details of two where possible.  

You should ensure that your emergency contact is: 

1. aware that they have been nominated and that their contact details have been given to the University for this purpose; 
2. readily contactable - wherever possible, please provide a mobile phone number as well as a landline so that contact can be made quickly;  
3. if possible, able to speak English.  

Your emergency contact details are held on the University’s student information system, in accordance with the University’s Student Privacy Notice.

We recognise that you are an individual, with an expectation that information about you is held securely and not shared inappropriately. We will always balance these considerations with your personal circumstances before using the details you have provided and sharing information about you with your emergency contact. It is unlikely that during your time as a student we would ever need to get in touch with your emergency contact and share any personal information, but wherever possible we would try and get your consent first.  

Under current data protection legislation, we are permitted to share personal information about you without your consent where we believe that this is necessary to protect your vital (immediate) interests or those of another person and where it is not possible to obtain your consent. This usually means that you will have been involved in, or that there is a risk of, an incident or an emergency situation where we believe you or others may come to serious or lasting harm.  

The following are examples of circumstances in which we might get in touch with your emergency contact and share personal information, but each case is considered on its own merits. These examples include but are not limited to:  

• You are exhibiting behaviour that may pose a serious risk to your safety and wellbeing or that of others.  
• You have attended or been admitted to hospital in an emergency.  
• You have suffered a serious physical injury, including significant self-harm.  
• You cease to engage with your studies and we have been unable to contact you to confirm your safety and wellbeing.  
• You have not recently been seen in your accommodation, we have been unable to contact you and you are considered missing.  
• You have an ongoing serious illness and you appear to be deteriorating.  
• You are experiencing a mental health crisis.  
• A third party has reported significant concerns and we are not able to contact you to establish your safety and wellbeing. 
• You have been the victim of a serious crime.  

 In the event that there are concerns about the health, wellbeing or welfare of a student who is under 18 years old, the University is always obliged to contact the student's parent or guardian.  

Any decision to get in touch with your emergency contact or to share personal information without your consent would be taken by the Associate Director (Student Wellbeing) or their designated nominee, and informed by advice from the Head of Student Conduct, Risk and Information Governance, the Head of Student Life, the Safeguarding Lead and the Counselling and Mental Health Service Manager where possible. We would inform you of this, unless to do so would increase the risk of harm to you or another person. Whenever we share personal information about a student with their emergency contact, we keep a record of the justification for this decision, the nature of the information shared, with whom, and the time and date of the disclosure. 

You can update your emergency contact details in e:Vision at any time and it is your responsibility to ensure these details are kept up to date. 

We ask you to provide two emergency contacts just in case one of them is unavailable.

Around 15% of the population have a disability, whether you can see it or not. The University offers a dedicated, confidential Advisory service to help students to access the reasonable adjustments they are entitled to, based on their disability, impairment or long term condition and their programme of study.  

Help and support is available. The process is evidence-based, and you will need to register with the Disability Advice or Mental Health Service.  

You work in partnership with the Disability Advice team to agree what is reasonable and proportionate considerate of your condition or impairment, to develop a Learner Support Profile (LSP). Only once you have approved the content, will be it accessible to staff who teach on your programme. If you decline to disclose your disability, specific, individualised reasonable adjustments cannot be implemented.  

We need to know about your disability, including mental health to enable us to arrange reasonable adjustments in relation to your studies.   

Please select ‘Two or more impairments and/or disabling medical conditions’.  

If you have indicated you have more than one disability, impairment or long term condition you will be asked a follow up question to gather further data in order to ensure the University is able to support you fully during your studies.

If you would prefer not to answer you can select ‘Prefer not to say’ in all cases.

Further guidance and details of further support available can be found on the UCAS website.

UCAS defines an estranged student as someone who no longer has the support of their family due to a breakdown in their relationship which has led to ceased contact. This might mean their biological, step or adoptive parents, or wider family members who have been responsible for supporting them in the past. More details can be found on the UCAS website and the Student Loans Company website. 

UCAS defines a student with caring responsibility as someone who is responsible for providing unpaid care to someone who has, for example: a long-term illness; a disability; a mental health condition; an addiction; temporary care needs following, for example, an accident or operation.  

The caring responsibilities question does not include childcare unless your child has additional disability, health or support needs. Childcare is covered in the following question.

This will depend on the issue with your funding: 

• If your funding has been approved by Student Finance/SAAS and is linked to the University of Bradford, once you have submitted the information on this page, the details of your funding should be added to your account within five working days. 
• If you have applied for your funding from Student Finance but this has not yet been approved, this will not show on your account until this has been approved by Student Finance/SAAS. Please check your Student Finance/SAAS accounts for any requests for evidence/information they need to continue to process your application. Once Student Finance has approved your application, the University should receive confirmation the next working day to confirm the tuition fee loan amount they will pay to the University directly and this will be updated on your account for you.

Please logon to your Student Finance online account / contact Student Finance/SAAS to update the amount of tuition fee loan you have applied for. This is normally updated by Student Finance within 48 hours but can take up to six weeks in some cases. In the ‘Tuition Fee Loan amount requested’ field, please enter the new amount you have applied for and submit your current Student Finance/SAAS funding notification. 

If you have studied at Higher Education (degree) level before, or are repeating this academic session, you may not be eligible for a tuition fee loan from Student Finance/SAAS. Students with extenuating circumstances can apply for an additional year of tuition fee support from Student Finance/SAAS by submitting evidence of Compelling Personal Reasons (CPR) to them.

Please complete the fields on this page and submit the notification you received from Student Finance/SAAS to confirm they have received your CPR request and evidence. Until the University receives confirmation your tuition fee loan has been approved, you are responsible for payment of your fees so you may be required to make a payment whilst your funding is processed (this payment will then be refunded once Student Finance/SAAS confirm your tuition fee loan for the full fee charge).
