University of Bedfordshire media students could potentially earn roles with the UK’s longest-running alternative theatre company, according to actor Gareth Brierley.

Students from across the University of Bedfordshire’s partner colleges were among the happy graduates picking up their degrees at a ceremony in Milton Keynes which also celebrated the achievements of a local entrepreneur.

A former student presenter at the University of Bedfordshire's community radio station has been nominated for a national award, whilst it has also been announced that the station is to stay on local radio waves for another five years.
