What students say about Bradford
Shams Aliya – MSc Cancer Pharmacology: "I chose Bradford because it's known as a multicultural melting pot. I dreamed of meeting people from all over the world. I like that it's so close to Leeds and Manchester yet it's a cost-effective choice - as an international student I find my money goes much further here than in other UK cities."
