Industry uniforms and College ID
Some courses require you to wear a uniform to prepare you for work. Many industries
wear uniforms to protect clothing, make working more comfortable, easily identify
employees and promote their brand. Our vocational courses aim to offer real-world
learning and that’s why the following study programmes require you to wear a uniform:

         CATERING                       CONSTRUCTION                   CREATIVE INDUSTRIES

   HAIR, BEAUTY & MAKE-UP            HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE          ENGINEERING & MOTOR VEHICLE

           SPORT                       TRAVEL & TOURISM             UNIFORMED PUBLIC SERVICES

Our uniforms include sports and outdoor clothing, branded hoodies and t-shirts, chef’s
whites and protective footwear. All of our uniforms are Bradford College branded and prices
start from around £5 per item up to around £40.
You can view uniforms at our Open Events and applicant events. Once you have applied
for a course, you will have the opportunity to order your uniform via our website. We open
a uniform shop during enrolments in the summer and you can try on items/sizes before
placing an order.

                    When you enrol with us, you will be given a Bradford
                    College Student ID card which you must wear and
                    keep visible at all times on campus.

                                                                     bradfordcollege.ac.uk       19

Rooted in STEM
SCIENCE – TECHNOLOGY – ENGINEERING – MATHS

Bradford College is committed to develop STEM across all
curriculum areas. Our STEM strategy encompasses Science,
Technology, Engineering and Maths and we work together
with many employers and partners to ensure we provide
high quality teaching in STEM subjects.

                  Bradford College is working with the Bradford ICE (Industrial
                  Centres of Excellence) to develop curriculum links with
                  employers in order to provide high-quality courses and
                  opportunities in the following areas: Health and Social Care,
                  Business, Advanced Manufacturing, Built Environment and
                  Environmental Technologies. More ICE are planned and
                  if you are studying a course in any ICE area then you will
                  benefit from employer links, curriculum enrichment and
                  potential visits to employers.
