5 ways students will benefit from Bradford 2025

Bradford 2025 doesn't just last throughout the City of Culture year. It'll also create a legacy that will benefit the city far into the future. Here are a few ways City of Culture 2025 could benefit University of Bradford students.

Be a part of the Bradford buzz - get involved with our activities programme

It's about people and potential, joy, and innovation; a rich history and a bright future.

2025 will bring a wide range of events and activities to the city. As a University of Bradford student, you'll be at the centre of the action and in a great position to make your mark on the city. This is your opportunity to show the world all that our diverse, ambitious and exciting city has to offer.

The University is set to deliver a programme of activities, making the campus come alive. We'll be celebrating the great work of our staff, students, and alumni, as well as sharing the University's research and projects in interactive and engaging ways.

Dream big and make things happen - introduce your talent to the world

This is a city of creativity. We are rappers and artists, writers, thinkers, and future leaders.

With more than 1000 performances and events, including 365 artist commissions, a series of major arts festivals and both national and international collaborations, this huge deal is due to drop in the city very soon.

As the events strategic partner, the University of Bradford will have a unique opportunity to showcase all the fabulous work our students do. 2025 will raise our profile and welcome a huge new audience to the city. This is where we share what we do and who we are, and we are excited to be placed at the centre of attention.

Make 2025 your event - volunteer and gain valuable experience

We do and dare; we reinvent and have fun. We are diverse and happening.

In 2025 the stage will be yours to tell your story. You'll be encouraged to participate, and the University will make your voice heard. You'll be asked for your ideas as we roll out our programme and have the chance to support the development and delivery of the ideas we share.

The lead-up to 2025 really is all about you. Bradford City of Culture 2025 will be looking for volunteers to help deliver their programme. This will be a great opportunity to become immersed in the cultural activities of the city and gain valuable work experience.

Work hard, play hard - find placement opportunities with cultural organisations

Ambitious and confident, vibrant, passionate, and talented - this is our time.

The door is open and here's how you find a way in. Our students will be able to gain real-world experience through event placements and cultural opportunities in the city.

There'll be roles in filming, marketing and finance that will give you valuable experience to kick-start your career.

Build, grow, achieve, and stay - study in Bradford and kick-start your career

Our city is built on industry and innovation. It's progressive, independent, and strong. It's culture and business. It is opportunity.

Bradford 2025 will create jobs in the cultural and arts sector which will remain as part of its legacy.

Volunteering or doing a placement alongside your degree gives you the opportunity to apply for paid roles when you graduate. You can start an exciting career in the city.

Bradford is a city of business, creativity, and innovation. Bradford is where it's at. Maybe it's where you should be too.
