Learn more from practicals than the lectures. Really expensive to travel so it’s hard to get to every lesson. Don’t really experience social life as I have to travel from Liverpool.

The univeristy does not offer any support they say it is univerisity life and you should be independant learners. And as a fresh year if you make any mistake submitting work they will penalise you so you are capped at 40 per cent.

I am going into my second year and have had a pleasent experience so far. I do not regret coming to Bucks, I am confident it will help me get my degree in 2021.
Job Prospects

We have a careers fayre come to visit our campus on a number of occasions. Practical placements also allow us to go on to work at the home base we have chosen once qualified.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
I love the 50% practical and 50% theory. This allows us to plan out our lives in comparision to other uni Nursing courses. It means i am able to fit in a part time job for 6 months before i go out on placement and this helps massively with living costs.

Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union? If you don't get involved, why not?
I think the students union is great, it is ranked one of the hightest. However, nursing students are on a seperate campus to the main university where most events ans socials are held... this means its harder to get as involved as i would like.
Uni Facilities
How good are your university’s facilities?
The facilities at uxbridge where I am based arent very good. We have a very small libary with minimal computers and a very small canteen - this means running to get a seat...sometimes our breaks are 2 hours long and we have no seating area!! There isnt a lot to offer in comparison to the main campus where majority of bucks students are, though we do have access to them and a shuttle bus.
City Life
What’s the city life like?
Uxbridge is decent, nice links into london. Lots of restaurants, cinema , gym etc. Nothing really special but its ok.

Support is ok. We have staff employed in the learning development unit tp help with assigments etc. The lecturers are hit and miss depening on who we get but majority of seminars are good due to the fact the staff are also qualified nurses.

OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
I find the university quite good. It offers many opportunities for study, all the tutors are quite supportive, and I can even tell that a student is in the centre of Bucks ,but the university still lacks consistency that will not influence students’ study, this feature I think needs to be taken into consideration for a better improvement of performance.
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
The university has a department where every student can come and have a piece of advice for a good form of CV, the university also sends different articles every week where there is some information about key skills for future career or what people international companies need to have in their team. In addition to it, the university offers study abroad opportunities which can help to have an additional experience in a foreign country and to have good connections for future career.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
The best thing that I like about my course are useful maturials and stuctured assignments that help me to prepare myself to work in business. The teachers provide some feedback regarding my work and this can help me to evaluate my weaknesses and strengths. All teachers try to implement more videos and articles too that are additional resources for the self-development.

How good are your university’s facilities?
The university has quite a good library where I usually like studying, there are a lot of books for all the areas of study, every floor has a bottle of water for students which means that the university takes care of students ,all the equipment at the university is quite modern and new.
City Life
What’s the city life like?
I do not like High Wycombe at all, it is quite big, but not a cozy city. In addition to it, it is very noisy and not so clean, but I still find some places in High Wycombe very beautiful ,like parks, cafes,restaurants and a shopping centre. But the city has one main advantages - it is very close to London which allows to discover more opportunities in the capital of England without any problems.
Clubs and Societies
What are the clubs and societies like?
I have been to the clubs in High Wycombe,but some cafes are really nice and cozy, but it is usually very noisy in the streets.
Student Support

I think that all the tutors are quite supportive and they all are ready to explain more and more to students ,especially the Learning Development Unit is ready to help with the academic writing for foreign students and to understand the system of eduction here. I have used the LDU many times and I am really satisfied with people who work there ,they are always polite and they share some useful thoughts and information with the students.

The university experience has had some ups and downs. Some staff helpful some very much opposite. Staffing issues in last year led to classes being cancelled and some IT problems had made some matters worst when you come in to be told class is cancelled but also the IT is not working so you can't do any work.
