The University of Bedfordshire is committed to widening access to Higher Education through its partnership work with students, schools and colleges across the region.

We strongly believe in the transformative nature of education.

Through our outreach activities, we seek to ensure that those from under-represented groups are equipped to progress into Higher Education.

The Centre for Academic Partnerships offers a wide range of opportunities and activities

• Schemes and initiatives with local schools and colleges
• Student opportunities including Internships and the Associate Scheme
• Sportbeds
• Arts and Culture events and opportunities

Staff on my course are easy to contact and are always willing to advice and communicate. Staff are approachable and most staff members have office hours when you can see them and discuss what you need to.

If you need help outside of your course, there is always somebody to go and ask such as SID at the university. At this university, there are many opportunities to help you develop personally, academically and enhance your CV. In my experience, this has really helped me have a positive experience at this university.

I like that we can use any campus and some campuses are open 24/7, meaning we can work within the university whenever we want to with access to the libraries.
