The University of Bedforshire is a pioneering and vibrant university with an emphasis on a modern curriculum that relates theory to practice. Our two campuses in Bedford and Luton are in ideal locations, just 30 to 40 minutes from Central London by train, benefiting from lower living costs compared to Central London. The university has reputation for its very high quality of teaching and in 2003 and 2004 we were judged to be a top new university in England for teaching quality (QAA). The main London international airports at Heathrow and Gatwick are only one-to one-and-half hours away from our campuses. In addition, London Luton International Airport offers low-cost, direct flights to many European cities, including Edinburgh, Dublin, Amsterdam, Geneva, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Milan, Athens, Larnaca, Berlin, Bratislava, Budapest, Cracow and Warsaw.
