Data Science degrees

The best aspects of my university experience have been the sense of community and the opportunities for personal and academic growth. My course is taught by passionate lecturers who make the subject feel relevant and engaging, and I’ve appreciated how approachable most staff are when I need help. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities and societies, which made it easy to meet people with similar interests. The campus facilities—like the library, study spaces, and wellbeing services—have also been a big part of what makes it a great place to study. In terms of what could be improved, there are a few key areas. Communication between departments could sometimes be clearer, especially around deadlines and timetable changes. At busy times of the year, access to study spaces can become limited, and more quiet areas or longer opening hours would make a difference. It would also help if there were more practical, hands-on learning opportunities such as placements, workshops, or industry links, as these really enhance understanding and employability. Overall, the university offers a supportive and stimulating environment, but with better organisation and more resources during peak periods, the student experience could be even stronger.

The actual university was fine. The new building has a lot of great facilities but some of them can only be used by people from that actual course. Sewing machines and work spaces can get really busy. Nice interior design and layout.

Very quiet, lots of areas to study and lecture halls are large and comfortable. I would like there to be more activity based societies and for the society website to be updated quicker because new ones have trouble being added and there are old ones that have closed one or two years ago

Great social life, good options for student societies, a lot of student support. A lot of professionals teaching on the course and it gave me exactly what I wanted for my career progression into genetics

I think Buckinghamshire university is perfect for international students. This university offers so many facilities and student union support is great. The best part is teachers and lecturers are very nice and considerate. They keep me motivated and encouraged while doing the assignments and through every classes. So far I've had a great experience and always happy at uni. One thing I got little pressure is about the fee as I'm facing financial problems.

It offers a full range of courses relating to Science. And in the course that I am currently doing, the modules have been changed to be more reflective of what employers want when you graduate, as well as it being reflective of core skills needed for almost every aspect of Biology and Chemistry.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.
