History

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, which then became the School of Health Studies within the university. The Department of Physics was closed in the 1980s.

In 2003, a merger with the nearby Bradford College was proposed, to create a combined further and higher education institution; at the time, the university validated the college's degree courses and some resources were shared between the institutions. This plan was discarded later in the year at least partially due to a dispute over the name of the new institution, as any change of name would necessitate a new charter. The two institutions resumed the competition and co-operation between them. In 2004, courses in Law and Human Resource Management were launched in direct competition with the college, leading the college to announce in 2005 that it was to seek validation of its degrees from Leeds Metropolitan University instead, of which it is now an associate college. Bradford College provides Further Education courses, including A-level, Advanced VCE, GNVQ, BTEC, NVQ, OCR and City & Guilds in a wide range of subjects, and undergraduate and postgraduate higher education courses in the following departments: Bradford Business School: Computing and Business Administration+ Business Studies+ Management, Hospitality and Leisure Studies+ School...

The EIMC department was founded in 1991, and developed it's courses in conjunction with the School of Art, Design & Textiles at Bradford and Ilkley Community College (now known as Bradford College) and the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (now the National Media Museum). The first cohort of 37 students graduated in 1994. It was one of the first departments to offer BSc courses in media technology, going on to introduce some of the first animation and computer games degrees, and more recently expanding to offer a new range of similar BA courses. Previous graduates have gone on to become notable and high-profile members in their field. Today, EIMC no longer works in association with the college, but has strengthened its relationship with the nearby National Media Museum. The department would still claim to be leading the field, albeit against increasing competition. None of its competitors has a collaboration with a brand-leading museum.

The school was renamed Informatics when Computing was joined by the EIMC department. A department of Cybernetics was established around the time of the mathematics department's demise, however its courses and staff were merged with those in Computing and EIMC in 2005 for financial reasons.


A core part of the school is the Informatics Innovations Unit, which offers the expertise of specialists within Informatics to commercial and social enterprises.
