This university is a great place to study! It has many facilities where you can go and study in your own time and for the course I study it provides more than enough opportunities and resources that we need! The student union is great and always hosting events! The lounge is an on campus place where you can eat, drink, study or just socialise! Bucks uni is great for socialising and becoming independent.
It’s very small, so nice to know every lecturer.
BNU has some great courses that can prepare students for entering the workplace and the Students' Union has some excellent support services but the overall student experience is very lacking. BNU does not have the same variety of societies to join compared to many other universities, with half of them being sports and the other half relating to specific courses, ethnicities, or religions. Only a small few actually allow students to broaden their horizons to new hobbies or extracurricular activities. And those societies that do, leave much to be desired – the drama society doesn't perform plays and the musical theatre society doesn't perform full musicals. Perhaps these shortcomings are due to the fact that over half of BNU students are over the age of 34 and live at home, on top of the fact that BNU has a smaller-than-average student population to begin with, spread out over a number of different campuses. The Students' Union prides itself on being the only Union to offer all of its activities completely free for students. However, it has very few worthwhile activities on offer to make this a benefit. Overall, younger students should seriously consider other options before BNU – many other universities offer courses just as good as BNU but with a far better overall student experience.
The best the university environment and student support is super while transportation campus links the way is running is bad and drive doesn't come on time in this weather transport suppose to be on ground instead of stay inside the cold for 1hr before will can enter, university need to consider our health too
Haven’t really made friends on my course but have made very good friends from my football team.
This uni is best in all aspects

University is such a surreal and new experience which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for new opportunities and the chance to expand their social circle! Studying in such a supportive environment has really helped me open up as a person and gain crucial skills needed in daily life. The staff at Buckinghamshire new university are so supportive of the students and the campus is tailored exactly as needed for students. I would highly recommend studying at this university!
Seminars aren’t as interactive as I thought they would be but still enjoy them. Best part of the university is the facilities they offer in the graphics /art department. There is such a range with a wide space.

Best would be where it is, it’s close to home for me and it’s also right in the centre of High Wycombe so when I have some time between classes I can pop into the centre. The worst would be how much everything costs, as I do product design I often need to have physical models for my work and they need you to pay for 3d models that get printed and that doesn’t make sense as surely the £9,000 something I pay a year should cover those costs too
Best part of studying: Reliable technology and overall lower cost compared to other universities. Worst part of studying: Tech can sometimes be temperamental - failing or having difficulty loading - experienced by me earlier this week.
The best aspect of my uni experience has been the supportive learning environment. Many tutors are approachable and genuinely interested in helping students improve, which has made a big difference in my confidence and development
Studying tools
always support available for assignments and any help with things you don’t understand. amazing student union. so much available in the library and resources and equipment at our disposal.
The people and the the lecturers experience
So far so good but would like to have events and seminars in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh
Diversity and inclusion is the top notch priority. There is maximum support not only in terms of educational excellence but also financial, well being, social support, food and accommodations.
The best experience I had was the support for the students. One I entered to the university for the first time I was surprised and astonished by the warm welcome for the new students. Their staff members are very cooperative and professional. Meanwhile, when I came from Pakistan to uk I was having panic attack but with the help of the university, I talked to them and they guided me in the very good way. Moreover., I am very satisfied from their courses. The way they teaches.
Student union is amazing, always offering a variety of events, facilities are great and the campus is very clean and nice to be around Some lecturers are difficult but most are amazing

great place to study as they get tutors that have been or still in the industry that they are teaching so we get a feel how it is when we get industry work. Everything is great
the hours are great my lecturers are amazing as they go through in depth in what we are doing and even if we don’t understand they will go with us one on one to make sure we understand Even if it might be alot for tutors as there is alot of us but they make sure that we all understand what the course is about and help us with anything we need
