We have added a sec on to our website with some handy FAQ's as this is one we have been asked about a lot:
h ps://www.bradford.ac.uk/news/coronavirus/faq/applying/uk/
"The University will be aware of the challenges you will have faced in finding and comple ng work experience and will take this into
account when shortlis ng our applica ons next year.
The NHS has launched a volunteering scheme with several different types of volunteer opportuni es, which are available during
the coronavirus outbreak. These opportuni es will provide you with a range of transferable skills, which you will be able to tell us
about in your personal statement.
You can also let us know about anything you have done to support elderly or vulnerable people in your community."
We will of course take into account all the extra things that students will have done over these difficult months, such as helping
family and neighbours. We will be s ll looking to ensure that they have researched their course, so any virtual events that they can
a end we would highly recommend.
