In the educational stakes we’re a city of “firsts” – first school meals – first nurseries - first school medicals – first upper school – Education Act – Forster was MP here – and the pioneering spirit with students at its heart has simply never stopped.
As the former ‘Wool Capital’ of the World, Bradford was once famed for its industrial excellence within the textiles sector. The Wool Exchange and ‘Little Germany’, the former wool merchants’ area of the city, reflect this industrial heritage. Whilst retaining many of its unique features, Bradford is now a very international city with a diverse cultural mix. The city is currently being revitalised through an ongoing programme of investment and renewal.
The lively night life is prominent in the city’s ‘ West End’, a vibrant array of bars, restaurants and nightclubs, close to the College campus at the heart of the city.
No matter what your taste in entertainment, it will be well catered for in Bradford. There are student bars, cafés, a wealth of clubs, many offering student nights and discounts, and an abundance of live music venues.
