Welcome to the 
first edition of 
the Noteworthy 
e-zine of 2011. 

We hope you’ll be interested to read 
our news on plans
for a postgraduate
study centre and the report of an upturn
in the graduate jobs market. If you live
near Bedford and you want to keep in shape, you may want to know more
about our new Body Hub facilities.

We also have an inspiring profile of Court Duty Officer Kelly Blake as she talks about the challenges of studying, working and raising a family.

Please also take a look at our events page
to find out how you can still play a part in the life of the University. Computing graduates should head straight for the entry details of this year’s Train2Game Graduate of the Year Award on our scholarships page.

Plus, we would love to hear from you. This 
is your e-zine and we want to know where you are, what you’re doing and how you’ve progressed since leaving the University.
Get in touch by visiting the contact us page.

Finally, I’d like to thank the alumni
volunteers who attended the recent University Open Days and helped
with our recruitment campaign.

The future’s bright
The job market is picking up – with the number of vacancies having increased for the first time since the recession began.

This is according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR), which published the winter edition of its bi-annual survey in January.
Courting success
Kelly Blake (LLB Law, 2007)
describes studying at the University
of Bedfordshire as the best decision she’s ever made.

She says her degree in Law at the Luton campus transformed her life
and opened up new opportunities.
Apply now
Alumni of the Department of Computer Science and Technology are invited to apply for the 2011 Train2Game Graduate of the Year Award (GOYA).

The GOYA was established last year by a generous donation from Train2Game, a local Luton company.
