Ghana

2011 visit

Linda Deigh

One of our most experienced members of academic staff, Linda Deigh, visited Ghana on 8 and 9 November 2011.

If you came along to the event and have any questions about studying in the UK, please do not hesitate to contact our International Marketing Manager for Ghana, Nicolae Pavel, by email at nicolae.pavel@beds.ac.uk. We find students and parents have many questions at the important time of making this life changing decision.

Our University is a popular destination for international students, in fact they make up about 30% of our student body and more than 100 nationalities are represented at Bedfordshire. This means that the friendships made here are truly global. Many of our students make friends for life while studying on our courses, and then keep in contact on social media such as Linked In, Facebook and Skype - and they report that these friendships are critical for their career development and advancement. 

We have first rate and award-winning student support, and a dedicated, responsive International Office. We are now holders of the Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2011, a most prestigious and coveted honour for any organisation.

Again, if you have any queries please email Nicolae Pavel nicolae.pavel@beds.ac.uk who will be pleased to respond your questions.
