Mary and Saksham have shared their unique experiences of life at Bedfordshire, highlighting the University’s commitment to equipping students with the tools and support they need to achieve their career goals.

Mary continued “The lecturers here have been incredible, always supportive and willing to help. I’ve especially appreciated the University’s efforts to create activities that help students unwind during stressful periods, and resources like Studiosity and the Careers & Employability team have also been invaluable in offering academic support and guidance for life after graduation.”

Saksham, who has recently completed his MBA in Digital Marketing, added: “The University of Bedfordshire is one of the best universities and I can proudly say it is my university. From the facilities to the support staff, lecturers who gives their all towards high-class education to our university cafes and restaurants - I would recommend students to be a part of the University of Bedfordshire.”
