Student Union is effective
Very good lecturers. Listen to requests and implement if possible. Long placements and no time between end of placement and return to uni now
Commuting to uni is easy
Best- student support and pastoral care Worst- placements team
It's good.
The course is brilliant, the teachers are nice and helpful. Organisation needs to be improved
Sometimes it can be difficult to get in contact with SLA for support and the wait time is long. Which can cause stress and pressure with trying to reach assignment deadlines
Good uni. Nice people and staff
Lovely spacious environment, more cafe shops
Good place to study: Quality lecturers, nice people, nice campuses Improvements: Zero uni feel or student union opportunities at the Uxbridge campus, we are not included in anything New courses, the lecturers aren’t organised at the deficit of our education
A bit hard to apply for bursaries for those with lower student finance

I have moved from QA Higher Education after completing my foundation year and it was the best decision I have made. I had a really bad experience at the previous place and Buckinghamshire New University is everything I wanted from a Uni. I had a really lovely welcome at the students freshers week and everyone was helpful and extremely informative. I have the best tutors and lecturers and they always go out of their way to offer helping hand. All the support services available at Uni are also amazing and I can feel they are doing everything they can to help students in need. Student Union and the societies are also services I would like to praise . I am having the best time and without any hesitation I would recommend Bucks uni as a place to study.

Buckinghamshire New University is one of the most friendly universities, from the student union to the staffs, it feels like home even when I’m half a world away from my country.
I am a full-time student at Buckinghamshire New University at High waycombe campus. First of all I would like to share my experiences so far 7 weeks have passed and I have found that BNU is the best university in terms of student support, tutor, facilities and location. I am really enjoying my foundation year and I am doing well as well and everything is become possible because evryone is helpful and I am 100% satisfied with facilities of the university Specially library facilty is awesome and staff of library is also very helpful plus tutor of my all modules are very knowledgeable and always helpful and always answer any quries by their experties which is creating very positive environment between a student and a tutor and that’s possible at BNU. Now I would like to talk about student support so student union, career support advise, and student learning support always happy to help for assignment advice or any other academic support which motivates me a lot to build my career and easy to understand my route of success. Location at High waycombe campus is also convenient as its sutuated nearby high street so I haven’t got any problem in this 7 weeks as there are lots of private parking available which is just walking distance from University which is great plus point of this university. I will give 5 out of five to BNU high waycombe campus.
Best aspects would be that you get a lot of support from the tutors if any issue arises or if you need help Worst aspect would be that student union could be improved to increase popularity of the university

This Uni manages to want spaces for students to be very interesting. Even if the student wants to have a moment alone, they find that space to be. The design of the building is aqua, a person spends a whole day at BNU university and doesn't even realize they are inside a large house. The entire Uni community is friendly to those who don't know them. There is respect for others, a desire to welcome people in the best possible way, and tries to find a path for each person, but knowing that they have to follow the path of success.
