University of Bradford

At the University of Bradford, our focus is on creating the conditions for social, cultural, and economic impact. We are committed to social inclusion. Our work to expand opportunity and enable students to reach their potential, has led to us topping the Social Mobility Index of English universities for the last five years. Our University Strategy sets out our ambitions for 2025, which we will achieve by using our proud heritage as a springboard and remaining steadfast in our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.


Faculty

Employability is core to our curriculum through our unique focus on live projects and cases. Our Law Clinic provides an extended service across the city and forms a core part of our undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum and provides students with an invaluable insight into the legal profession. In line with this, the department’s MLaw degree is designed specifically for those students who wish to qualify as solicitors by embedding both SQE preparatory courses and the opportunity to gain Qualifying Work Experience throughout their studies. In addition, our extra-curricular activities include Mooting, Mock Trials, and our Career Booster programme enable aspiring solicitors and barristers to develop their skills and networks within the legal profession. We are also proud to have a broad range of partners who provide real-world experience through placement opportunities, enabling our students to excel in a competitive environment and to make a positive impact in the modern workplace.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
