- About Us
Not everyone’s time at University will be plain sailing, and you will no doubt need some form of support at one point during your studies. And so, here at Bedfordshire we provide a variety of support services to all of our students, in order to help you deal with any issues arising, problems, or difficult situations that you may find yourself in during your time with us.
The Student Engagement Team, which is based at both Luton and Bedford campuses, offers confidential advice to all students registered at the University who are experiencing difficulties with their studies.
The mental health advisor provides support for students
You will be offered practical one-to-one support to help you get the best out of your time at university including liaison with academic staff and health professionals.
If you need to talk to someone, or if you need advice, help or support, then our counselling services are on hand at both Luton and Bedford to assist with any personal, financial or academic difficulties. Our counsellors are always available to give advice and lend a listening ear to any problems that you may have. The service is free, purely confidential and is available to all students.
The Chaplaincy teams are also available to offer help and support in times of personal transition or difficulties.
Once you have registered at the University you will have a personal tutor assigned to you. This personal tutor will be your first port of call should any problems arise. If they are unable to help you or give you guidance, they will direct you to another source of help.
There are student surgeries in Luton and Bedford to provide you with easily accessible health care during your time at the University. Whether you need to see a doctor, nurse, or visit a clinic, receive prescriptions, travel vaccinations, telephone advice or out-of-hours emergency services, our Student Health Centre will ensure you are well looked after and receive the medical help you need. You can also be referred via our health service to specialist services, such as physiotherapy, if needed.
Each of the faculty at our Luton and Bedford campuses are also on hand to advise our students on a variety of matters including:
The Professional and Academic Development team (PAD) offers a diverse selection of services to our students. Whether you are struggling with certain aspects of your studies, or if you simply wish to develop and explore certain skills further, the PAD team is here to offer you a helping hand.
