Student Legend Scheme


Student Legend SchemeWe would like to reward those students who go ‘above and beyond’, and so the Student Services team has introduced a new scheme in order to do this - the Student Legend award scheme.


There are three strands to the scheme - Student Council, Student Ambassadors and Student Champions - a student may choose from a number of different activities and events (as many or as few as he or she chooses) and record their hours of service in a log book. This will result in being awarded a Student Legend Certificate at Level 1 (Bronze), Level 2 (Silver) or Level 3 (Gold).


I’d like to welcome our students to this scheme and hope that by taking part they will not only enhance their future careers but also make their time with us a memorable one.


A Student Legend is:


  • Passionate about his/her subject or course and wants to share this with others

  • Keen to develop his/her talents, skills and knowledge, as well as meet other students from different departments

  • Happy to work either quietly behind the scenes or up front and central

  • A proactive community member of Bedford/Shuttleworth Colleges.


What do I achieve?


  • Whilst working as a member of a cross-college team developing a number of valuable, marketable, as well as transferable skills

  • Some informal work experience, interning whilst studying

  • A Reference for your: CV, UCAS form or for employment

  • Above and Beyond Certificate of Achievement as a Legend.

  • Finally, there will be a thank you party at the end of the academic year and prizes for outstanding contributions!
