External Students

.. I have noticed that.. many students from different Universities are accessing the services at Luton. As a student I feel there is a question of security as we do not know these students...

Thank you for expressing your concerns. I would like to reassure you. The University of Bedfordshire is part of a co-operative scheme with most Universities in the UK, called Sconul Access. Students from other institutions apply for a card to use the resources in our University on a reference or loan basis (depending on their course of study). There is one kiosk pc which external users are allowed to use.
University of Bedfordshire students also take advantage of this scheme (particularly part time and distance learners). They can apply to use Universities near their home town if its more convenient for them to study there.
If you have any particular security concerns please raise them with security staff on duty
