Welcome 2016
WELCOME 2016 When you arrive on campus during your first week there will be coloured faculty areas. These areas are in place to support you during your first week and can be used as a meeting place and information point as you familiarise yourself with your new surroundings. Each faculty has an allocated colour: Health & Social Sciences Creative Arts, Technologies & Science Business School Education & Sport Support staff will be on hand to direct you to faculty based events and help areas. The University has arranged lots of exciting events to assist you with integration into life at Bedfordshire and to support you with making new friends.
