We are social!

When you join the University of Bedfordshire, you don't just join the University - you also become a member of Bedfordshire Students' Union (Beds SU)!

We are here to help every student get the most out of their university experience. We campaign on issues that you care about, as well as provide lots of opportunities for you to meet new people, develop your skills, campaign for change and try something new!

Advice

In order to make sure your voice is heard throughout the year we rely on student representatives.

We have elected student representatives for different communities within the University to make sure we represent everyone.

You can become a student leader for any of the communities you are a part of.

Beds SU has two fantastic venues available – The Metro in Luton and The Hub in Bedford. Both venues were recently refurbished in a modern, rustic style.

Deadlines looming: submit or mitigate?

With the first deadlines of the year looming, it's important that you understand what to do if you are unable to submit a piece of work or sit an exam. Read on to make sure that you don't get caught out.

If you are unable to hand in a piece or work or sit an exam, you MUST apply for mitigation BEFORE the deadline.

If your application is successful, you will most likely receive an extension of up to 14 days on your submission date.

If you are applying for an extension, we strongly advise that, if you are able to, continue working on your assignment and submit as soon as possible and within 14 calendar days from the submission date. Do not wait for the mitigation approval before submitting.
