The University's Student Recruitment team gets to work in Luton town centre

The University of Bedfordshire set out its stall in Luton town centre recently, offering course advice to shoppers and local residents.

The One Stop Uni Shop featuring the University’s specially branded show van was positioned on Market Hill over three-days earlier this month (May) as part of the University’s community engagement initiative to reach out and give local people an insight into higher education.

Head of Student Recruitment Lal Joshi said: "This is the first time the University has positioned the show van at Market Hill and I’m delighted with the public response. Lots of people made enquiries with us and many prospectuses were handed out over the three days.”

The University is also hosting a number of open days over the next few months at its Luton (Park Square) and Bedford (Polhill Avenue) campuses, where prospective students can find out about full-time and part-time learning opportunities. Open days will take place on:

  • Saturday, 9 July at Luton and Bedford – all courses
  • Saturday, 17 September at Bedford – Sports courses
  • Saturday, 15 October at Luton and Bedford – all courses
  • Saturday, 26 November at Luton – all courses
  • Sunday, 27 November at Bedford – all courses
