Welcome to the latest edition of your student magazine, Focus - providing you with all you need to know about the goings on at the University of Bedfordshire!

This is the last issue of Focus for 2020 so I’d like to take this opportunity to wish every one of UoB’s staff and students a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The past 12 months have been very strange and upsetting for many of us but, looking forward to 2021, hopefully we can soon look forward to some sense of normality returning to our lives.

In this issue, we have everything from the latest on Covid cases within the University (page 6), to warming Winter recipes (page 22 onwards), and ways to decorate your table for Christmas (page 21).

After the drama of the recent U.S. Presidential Election, don’t forget to check out our monthly election column on page 31.

I’d also like to say congratulations to UoB graduate Laura Conder on her recent Silver award win at the Student Radio Awards, alongside her nomination and lecturer Terry Lee’s nomination at the Community Radio Awards. Turn to page 10 to find out more about this.

Have a restful and well-deserved Christmas break and here’s to a happy and healthy 2021! Katy x
