What do we mean by 'practice-led courses'?

Our approach to teaching and learning is ‘practice led’, which means you are offered many opportunities to put what you learn into practice. So, depending on your course, you may find yourself working on real-life projects and scenarios; exploring real-world case studies; practising your skills in our oncampus, simulated environments including a moot court (law); hospital ward and operating theatre (health); and crime-scene flat (forensic science).

Bedfordshire will always have a special space in my heart. During University I met the most interesting people, gained so much knowledge and work experience, built my CV and confidence, learnt English and got a proper kick-start for my career. University was always supportive when I needed help, from financial aid, career advice, to mental health support. I could count on help, always.

KALINOWSKA, POLAND BSc (Hons) Psychology

I have really enjoyed my year at University of Bedfordshire. My major is electrical engineering and I have been able to put my practical skills to good use here. The labs are also very well equipped and lab teachers helped me a lot when I was working on my final project. If any of my friends are interested in studying in the UK, I would definitely recommend the University of Bedfordshire. All in all, my time here has been one of the most memorable journeys of my life.
