EU students at the University of Bedfordshire

Professor Les Ebdon, Vice Chancellor, University of Bedfordshire

Students' comments

“We’re all in the EU and that makes everything easier. Even though it’s another country, it feels like being at home.”

Edgars, Media student (Latvia)

“I finished secondary school in Lithuania and the University of Bedfordshire was the most attractive option with all the facilities and opportunities it had to offer. On my course I've been taught many good things.

I've learned to be a part of a team, work with a diversity of people, think out of the box and achieve my goals. I also chose to do a work placement after my second year which gave me a practical experience as well as enhancing my future employment possibilities.”

Judita, Business student (Lithuania)

“In Lithuanian universities, you get a lot of information you don’t actually need when you graduate. Here they provide knowledge that’s very useful and very close to what you’ll do in your future.”

Mante, Business student (Lithuania)

“Studying here I am able to do what I have always wanted to do – which wouldn't be possible in my home country. Coming to the University of Bedfordshire, I received a lot of useful advice from the staff who still continue to help me as an EU student.”

Justyna, Journalism student (Poland)

“I have always wanted to come to study in Western Europe. Students at Estonian universities have to know what ‘wise men have said’, but, when it comes to actual work, they might get stuck. Here, the group work and independent research studies teach us actually how to manage work efficiently.”

Marju, Public Relations student (Estonia)

“The practice-based classes and the well-equipped facilities are the most important reasons I feel satisfied with my choice to study at the University. But student life is not all about sitting over books. Being a sociable person, I enjoy the close proximity of London with everything it offers (concerts, exhibitions, clubbing, shopping...).

On top of this, I'm improving my English every day and I have made new friends from various European countries. I also have the opportunity to join the Erasmus program and study for one or two semesters in another country.”

Milosh, Media student (Slovakia )

“In Hungary, we have to do a lot of essays and exams – based on books. The teachers just give you the titles of the books, and then you go and do the exam. There’s no real group work. In Hungary education is based more on theory – in the UK it is based more on practice.”

Veronika, Media student (Hungary)

“Every week there are student parties or sports. You can meet people from all over the world and that’s what makes our lives here special.”

Leonti, Computing student (Estonia)

“The interest of the lecturers in supporting, motivating and encouraging students, and their willingness to help and give advice, are some of the great things I’ve experienced since I started my studies here.”

Julia, Media student (Germany)

The University of Bedfordshire provides the perfect opportunity and conditions to get the best quality knowledge in the field of media – which it’s not possible to do back home. I’m encouraged to debate and to develop my skills of self-expression, which enhance my self-confidence and professionalism. Such facilities as the library and the IT-suites, and my interest in the classes, have made me very enthusiastic about my studies. The ways of teaching, the assignments and group work are so interesting, and there’s a lot of practical work rather than just plain reading.

Neringa, Media student (Lithuania)
