Address and Location
Most of the University of Bedfordshire's facilities are situated at the college's impressive Luton campus, a modern mix of stark white interiors and heavy wood panelling. The smaller Bedford campus is located in a former teaching college twenty minutes from Bedford city centre. Other partner institutions are dotted around Luton, all within twenty minutes of the main university hub.
Background and History
A polytechnic college until being renamed Luton University in 1992, the University of Bedfordshire was created in 2006 when the institution acquired the Bedford campus of De Montfort University. Since then, the university has invested record sums in its new buildings and attracted a growing number of applications each year. Courses at the university are largely vocational, and several have achieved research excellence.
