Study in England (in English) - ISEP Exchange
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
• Experience the quaint side of English life in the city of Bradford, just a 1–2-hour train ride from some of the U.K.’s biggest hubs like Leeds, Manchester, and Liverpool.
• Fulfill your business requirements at the University of Bradford’s triple-crown-accredited (AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS) School of Management, an achievement held by only 1% of schools worldwide.
• Take courses in other popular fields such as sociology, computer and information sciences, and engineering as well as in unique areas like animation and game design, applied artificial intelligence, and politics, peace, and international relations.
• Join a university community known for its commitment to sustainability— even the student accommodations include features like solar-sourced energy for heating and light, rainwater harvesting, and aerated taps to reduce water usage.
LIVE and DINE
Live in apartment-style student housing at The Green, situated in the heart of campus. Enjoy the privacy of your own bedroom and bathroom in an apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and living areas that you’ll share with five other students. Use your meal stipend at the many places to eat on campus, including the Atrium Starbucks Coffee Bar, CURB (a restaurant featuring street food from around the world), and the Richmond Eatery, where you can sit down for a hot meal or pick up one of their grab-and-go options. Stock your apartment fridge and pantry with the essentials at Southgate Minimarket, just a few minutes’ walk from your accommodations, or dine at nearby eateries to try local favorites like Yorkshire pudding, rhubarb, and, of course, have a spot of afternoon tea!
EXPERIENCE
Explore your host community by joining optional excursions that are included in the program fee; past examples have included trips to York and the seaside. During the fall semester, look out for excursions offered exclusively during ‘Freshers Week’ such as a trip to one of the U.K.’s top amusement parks, football matches, and food tours. In addition to these off-campus adventures, you’ll receive regular updates via email about events hosted by the University of Bradford Union of Students (UBU) closer to campus, such as movie nights, cultural celebrations, and activity fairs.
Volunteer
Give back to your host community by volunteering through the University of Bradford Union of Students (UBU). Examples of past volunteer opportunities include mentoring fellow students, gardening, and helping the elderly. Please note that volunteer opportunities are only available to visa-holding students.
