Everyone comes to the Beda with a wealth and variety of human experience. The programme of human formation molds this so that the experience of the past leads to a fuller and richer humanity, suitable for priestly ministry today. 

Through seminars, interaction with staff and other students in the year group and tutorials, the Beda places great emphasis on human formation.  

As well as weekly seminars, every year group spends a weekend away deepening and cultivating human qualities so that they will be balanced and well integrated people.

Individual help is also given as and when it is required. Leisure time and recreational activities provide further opportunities for human growth and development.
