The ‘Back to the Future’ Delorean has joined forces with the University of Bedfordshire to celebrate clearing and help students get ‘Back to their futures’ post A Level results day.
The iconic time machine is being used to help students focus on their own futures after nearly 18 months of Covid disruptions to their education.
Characters from the Back to the Future franchise, Marty McFly and Doc Brown have been visiting the campus to show their support. They even had time to record their journey on Tik Tok and can be seen, alongside the Delorean in St. Georges Square Luton, between 9am and 5pm on 9 and 10 August.
Assistant Director of Student Recruitment & Admissions, David Seaton said: “We understand that Covid will have made an impact on students’ plans and thoughts about coming to university, so we are committed to supporting every applicant by offering reassurance and guiding them through the application process.”
They want young people to see clearing as a way of pursuing their own future ambitions and triumphing over pandemic induced adversities, regardless of their A-Level results.
David said: “Clearing is a chance for the University of Bedfordshire to offer life-changing opportunities to many students, so if your grades are not what you expected, please do call us and we will happily support and advise you on the opportunities available within the University.”
The university’s clearing hotline will be open from 9-14 August where admissions staff and a support team will talk prospective students through their options. It will operate between the following hours:
- Monday 9th– Thursday 12th August: 8am – 8pm
- Friday 13thAugust: 8am – 6pm
- Saturday 14th– Sunday 15th August: 10am – 4pm

To win a ride in the time-bending vehicle, simply snap a selfie with it and post to Instagram or Twitter, with the tag @uniofbeds and the hashtag #BedsDelorean. The winner will be announced at 3pm on Tuesday 10th August and will be driven to the University’s beautiful Putteridge Bury campus at 5pm that evening.
They will return at 6pm but we cannot guarantee what century that will that be in.
It is also unclear whether the flux capacitor will be in full operation or speeds of 88mph will be reached.
