University Life

We are a modern and vibrant university with students from more than 100 countries, making it a platform for a truly exciting and diverse academic and social life.

First-class facilities

By 2013 we will have invested over £180m in new facilities, creating one of the most modern and well equipped universities in the UK.

Our flagship £34m Campus Centre in Luton is a funky and functional development designed to bring all our student services, social and learning spaces and a 240-seat lecture theatre under one roof. The striking building is already creating a strong sense of community for students.

Construction is also underway on our £15m Postgraduate and Continuing Professional Development Centre scheduled to open in the academic year 2012-2013.
