To apply for a full-time course, download and complete all sections of the University of Bedfordshire international application form
Please remember that your application form is your chance to demonstrate your qualifications and suitability for the course of study and, as such, it should be completed by yourself, with care.
Unfortunately, the University of Bedfordshire is unable to accept application forms that have been completed by anyone other than the applicant.
Can I ask for help for writing my personal statement?
No, the statement must be your own work. We would like to know about your personal experiences and interests as these are what will help us decide whether you are suited for entry on to your chosen course.
What information should I include in my personal statement?
Please include the following:
If you are applying for an MBA, please provide a full account of your post-graduation work experience, making sure to include full information about your managerial experience (eg managing people, budgets or projects).
We would kindly ask you not to include general information already stated elsewhere on the application form.
Where does it state that the personal statement must be my own work?
The declaration which you agree to on completion of your application states that you have confirmed that the information you have provided is complete, accurate and all your own work.
The University of Bedfordshire does not and will not accept applications where the personal statement has been written by anyone other than the applicant or has been copied from a website or any other source.
When you have completed the application form, please return it to the address stated on the form, along with:
*Please do not send us original documents at this stage
If you are not able to provide all of these documents at the time of your application, please do not worry; we will endeavour to make an initial decision based on the information you provide, but please be aware that you may be asked to provide the additional documents at a later date.
Many of the international students who apply to the University of Bedfordshire have friends or family in the UK who contact us on the student's behalf.
Due to data protection legislation the University may not divulge any personal information relating to an application to any third party without us first having the applicant's written consent. If you wish to authorise a friend or family member to request and receive information or your behalf, please contact international-admissions@beds.ac.uk to ask for a Permission Form (please state Permission Form in the subject line).
