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.

Developing a Framework for Campus Inclusivity and Equity

Beds SU believes that all University of Bedfordshire campuses should be well-resourced with suitable facilities for teaching and learning, including:

accessible study spaces on every campus
adequately-sized classrooms on every campus
an appropriate ratio of toilet facilities to students on every campus
a laptop loan system that is available to students based at any campus
affordable catering facilities on every campus
common room facilities on every campus
extended library opening hours on every campus
microphones made available to UoB educational staff to ensure that students with impaired hearing are not disadvantaged
