University of Bedfordshire

The building it really nice I would give it a 8/10. The atmosphere is a 3/10. There’s not many facilities there not fields or parks. The only thing is a gym but you have to pay for it. The canteen is expensive but nice food.

The University of Bedfordshire is a good university offering high-tech sports science equipment. The online portal system, 'BREO' , however needs some adjusting. Since moving to UoB I've found it difficult to access and navigate the essential BREO system and this has negatively impacted upon my learning. For example, my student timetable is not readily accessible to me, meaning that I've missed lectures some of the time. The university do not subscribe to many vital journals making it difficult to research and relying heavily on open access articles. Its not all bad though. Lectures vary in level of engagement, in terms of delivery and content. Some I thoroughly enjoy, and others not so much. The campus itself is good to the most part. The gateway building and sports science labs are great but other areas are very dated and old- this doesn't bother me much.

Quite a bad area, not very organised, first year very messy. Parking is terrible and expensive. Good things include few cafes and a big library, plus I'll get a degree.

The campus is nice and big, i love the library but the people are not communicating between them and because of that people has a lot of problems

The university lecturers for the life sciences department are generally really good, supportive, very knowledgeable and caring towards their students. However their administration staff are crap and cause major delays with our exam timetables and they do not care at all about the students.

Lecturers are very helpful and willing to take time out to assist you. Facilities are good, the library caters for all people with different learning techniques.

If you are looking for an accessible University that considers experience and not just academic profile for admissions then I’d recommend considering Beds. It’s tutution fees are also amongst the cheapest for post grad courses than I found across the UK.

The campus was quite nice and the events from freshers were great but the overall quality of work and teaching at the uni was very below standard from a few lecturers in particular. Glad to be finished there and not have to return

I really enjoy my campus because it is very easy to get to places as directions are clear from how to get from another place to another. People are very helpful and you can ask anyone for help and they will direct you how to get there. The best thing about Bedfordshire university is they library. It have a huge library which have quiet areas and rooms where you can book if you want to work in group. I really enjoy my coude as my tutors are very helpful and always there to help you with anything you misunderstand in lectures. Also if you need help with anything reguide the unit.

Since attending university of Bedfordshire, I have experienced a lot of learning and new things. The campus at first was quite complicated to figure out and understand however, slowly but gradually I’ve been getting used to getting around! I love especially how close it is to town, easy for me to grab some lunch. only down fall for me is how the parking is quite espensive. The facilities I guess are good howveebr I hardly use it, I barely go or use he library so I’m not really sure how to use it properly. I actually really enjoy my course, most of the teachers make the subjects interesting. Whilst doing assignments I’ve realised the reashearch I’ve been making is actually helping my learning and understanding of the course which I like. Some of the teachers have been easy to talk to and some of them are just hard to get help from. Whilst coming to uni, as I don’t live in Luton, I’ve made new friends from here which has made my experience more enjoyable. Overall, I have so far enjoyed my experience so far and I hope I continue to feel that way. If I was to change anything about the uni, it would be that help was easier to access especially from teachers. Also, one big problem I have is how when I was calling SID I call over 4 times and every time they picked up and hung up on me which reallygot on my nerves as I was trying to do my assignment and get into breo. This is not the first time it has happened so because of this, it has lessened the rating of my experience.

The facilities are decent the campus is small , the careers services Is good , the student information desk is helpful, the course is unorganised in general , some lectures are unengaging & 1 lecturer smells.

I am studying midwifery at Bedfordshire uni. I am based at the Aylesbury campus, the course itself is really good, it is a tad unorganised, but generally well run. All of the lecturers are brilliant and provide great support. The downside of being based in Aylesbury is there is no student accommodation through the uni, the accommodation through the hospital is of a very poor standard, there is also no student union for any students to meet those from other years and to arrange social events. Some of our uni days are also in Luton which is a long way to go for a few hours. The learning experience and resources used for learning have been of a very high standard, the skills labs are very useful and help with the training required. The library in Luton has recently been done up and is huge. There is so much space this is great. However the one in Aylesbury is a bit of a let down in comparison.

Not the best university for ratings, but in my experience the staff are really hardworking and helpful, the courses in the life sciences department are varied and very interesting. I am now in third year and have found my time there to be very enjoyable. The nightlife is not the best, as the city itself is not really known for that, although London is a good night out and only a short train/bus journey away. The accommodation is very modern and well run, and the social aspect of halls is very inclusive with plenty of opportunities to get to know people. The surrounding area is perhaps not for everyone and I would highly suggest going to an open day and exploring the surrounding area as well as the uni itself before making a decision.

The campus is quite nice, especially the new library block. There are also plans of opening a new science block which will allow more degree subjects to be taught such as chemistry and physics. The biomedical science course is interesting as you learn a variety of subjects. You get a choice of research projects on the final year too. However, some of the lecturers read off the slides and are not worth going to.
