academic facilities
The University of Bedfordshire runs a
personal tutor system – so that all new students have a personal tutor whom
they can meet for academic and welfare advice. We also have an extensive
e-learning platform – Bedfordshire Resources for Education Online (BREO) – where
students can find course information, lecture notes and learning materials for
each of their classes.
The University came top for teaching
quality among new British universities according to The Sunday Times
newspaper in 2003 and 2004. The UK Government chose the University of Luton for
a Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in 2005, with an award of 5
million Euros extra funding.
The University’s impressive modern facilities
include, in our Luton campus, a new 9 million Euro Media Arts Centre (which features
professional TV and radio studios and theatre) and a new 11.5 million Euro
Learning Resources Centre (which includes an extensive library and computer
facilities).
Our Bedford campus features an impressive library and computing
centre, housed in a stunning new building. In addition to all this, we
currently plan to invest a further 65 million Euros in the University. For more

hours work per week, paid at approximately £6 per hour.
We have a very
impressive record of graduate employment, because we offer an academic and
professional education designed to support your future career. For more
