What is the Beds SU Advice Service?
We hope that that your university experience is exactly what you expect it to be but we know life can have its ups and downs and there are times that you may need some advice and support.
Our Beds SU Advice Service is here to help when you may need it. Our service is free, confidential and independent service for students studying at the university.
