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.

You have spoken and we can today announce your Co-Presidents for 2024/25.

By Beds SU

Monday, 11 March 2024

After a busy 10 days of campaigning and voting, our student elections closed last Thursday (7 March).

The candidates hoping to take on one of the two elected roles worked hard to get out and meet as many students across all campuses as possible and our student body have come out and voted for those you believe will best represent you and all students here at the University.

So THANK YOU to all who ran and voted.

We are delighted to announce that an incredible 2724 students voted (21.21% turnout) which is almost double the turnout of the previous year!

So without any further ado..our winners are:

Co-Presidents 2024/25

Chidera Umeh - Co-President (Self-identifying Man/Non-binary)

Seyi Lowo - Co-President (Self-identifying Woman)

Seyi will take up her role of Co-President in July alongside Chidera, until then Chidera will continue to support you in his current capacity as Co-Vice President, alongside your current officers.

Seyi and Chidera will be taking up training for their new posts at the end of June 2024 before starting in July..
