About University of Bedfordshire

The University of Bedfordshire is an internationally recognised modern and transformative Higher Education institution that is both dynamic and innovative. The main UK campuses are based in Luton, Bedford, Milton Keynes and Aylesbury with many partner colleges across the UK including London School of Commerce in London and Birmingham. It was announced in September 2018 that Bedford was named the 4th best student city in the UK for providing events according to TickX. The University has students from over 120 countries that are studying across the Undergraduate Postgraduate degree programmes. The University also has education roots that stretch back more than 100 years since 1882 with international education partners across the world in countries and continents such as China, Vietnam, Middle East, Europe and South East Asia.
