Hall welcome evening

During the hall Welcome Evening, new students attend a talk from our Security Department about personal safety and the security of their belongings in University buildings, at home and out and about in the town. The Bedford campus message is one of prevention and common sense.

Bedford campus parking information

Go to Bedford campus parking for information about the campus shuttle bus service and parking cars and bicycles.

Personal safety

Your welfare and personal safety are important to us. All halls have CCTV systems. The majority of halls have electronic entry systems and intercoms. There is a member of staff in the halls at night who can be contacted in the event of an emergency.

Special contract

Accommodation needs for students who have left the public care system can often prove to be a barrier to a successful and rewarding student experience.

We are keen to assist students from this background and some halls are able to offer 52 week contracts. Please contact our accommodation team to discuss how the University can support you.
