The university has its origins in the Bradford Schools of Weaving, Design and Building which in 1882 became the Bradford Technical College. This was succeeded by the Bradford Institute of Technology in 1957, and in 1966 a Charter of Incorporation was granted to create the University of Bradford. In 1996 the university joined with the former Bradford and Airedale College of Health.
The University of Bradford is comprised of eight Schools:
The School of Archaeological and Environmental Sciences
The School of Engineering, Design and Technology
The School of Health Studies
The School of Informatics
The School of Lifelong Education and Development
The School of Life Sciences
The School of Management
The School of Social and International Studies
The motto which appears on most current University of Bradford publications is "Making Knowledge Work". However, the motto inscribed beneath the official coat of arms is "Give Invention Light".
