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.

Beds SU supports University Mental Health Day

Loredana Ancutei our Faculty Officer for HSS welcomed visitors to her stand and spoke to them about their mental health and ways it can be improved.

There was the opportunity for everyone to add leaves to the mental health tree and share thoughts, encouraging messages and words of advice. Loredana was also joined by Benedicta Ekwoh Mbum, Faculty Officer for UBBS and staff from our very own Beds SU Advice team.

Speaking about the day, Kayleigh Ware, Service and Information Manager at Beds SU said,

'It was a great opportunity for our student representatives to engage with students on such an important topic. Mental health is vitally important and can affect people in positive and negative ways. A huge thank you to Loredana for championing the day and bringing the topic to life.'

If you are struggling with your mental health, support is available from Beds SU and the University. You can contact us on help@bedssu.co.uk or joining one of our confidential drop-in sessions
