University of Bedfordshire

I have never heard of this university, yet it is "7th in the UK for law" according to the advert at the top of this page. Anyone know where they found that nugget of information? Just curious :biggrin:

It appears it was the national survey of students?! Not sure how that works. How can students judge how good their course is compared to other universities, if they have only studied in one place? Seems quite barmy to me. There is no way Bedfordshire is as good as the AAA institutions.

According to the Times, it comes 80th for Law *snigger*

Edit: Just clicked the link and seen that its 7th for student satisfaction for Law.

I have been told by my friend (who heralds from Bedfordshire) to make a post that it is crap.

I won't labour the point; it is obvious...

Haha. It got me too. Couldn't believe a uni that ranks so low could have such a good rep for courses like Law. Well, I guess they have to play on their only positive stats right?

Bedford is ok, it's Luton that's really dire.

UoB is awesome for Law. Alumni include: Bob (the Morrisons shelf-stacker) and John (the local cinema cleaner)

i can confirm it is UTTER pants!!

i went there, very nasty area to live and study in. the same night my friend got headbutted, i walked home...sooo close not to be shot at, cos there was a shooting at the local club right next door to uni

the uni was closed cos of the health and safety - cos it was a bit windy...seriously

the student surveys are thrusted in front of your face and you just dont really read the questions. you just saw agree, disagree, dunno.

most uni's ive visited with my friend (who is about to start a BSc in sciences) do help you with your academic progress. UoB never once helped. even when i was handing in an assignment - the feed back was more about the method of my hand in than the work it self. i was given a A4 ticking-off cos i put the work in plastic wallets.

i would strongly advise against this. i had fun with friends whilst at home and achieved more! :tongue:

Oh god I get that, I hate surveys. And what about being bothered when its like Student election times. Who cares abou that, really hate it when they get in your face to vote all the time. What's the point it makes no difference.

I agree totally! I live just outside of Luton but go to Uni in Bedford and it's a lot better - Luton is just crap. Bedford should have stayed as De Montfort and not joined with Luton... Luton wanted to sound more intelligent by becoming 'Bedfordshire' lol!
