Best The Uni is very supportive Worst Lunch time rush hour.
Very helpful and supportive to new comers.
Module leads are very accommodating and supportive of our lives outside of university and work alongside in order to deliver the course in way that everyone is accommodated. The campus isn’t to big so easy to manoeuvre around and get from one place to the other quickly. The balance of the apprenticeship however is where things are difficult. The university hasn’t much say within the organisation we work for which is hard as we are student first before we are employees, but sometimes support in that area seems to lack, leaving student without support outside of the uni despite the fact that our course is determined on how well we work in our work places as well.
Being a mature student everyone is very supportive. It was a lifelong dream that I wanted to accomplish and only Bucks new uni has helped me achieve this. I was only able to recognise my inner abilities by being accepted on the course and being recognised as an individual here at bucks new uni. I have many new friends and enjoy the atmosphere at the uni . I and am looking forward to hopefully being a qualified social worker at the end of my degree.
Student unions could be improved with the music, as an international student they always play the same British songs there’s no mix of languages
Better student support.

The best: project leaders always supporting on projects. Always will find you time to have 1:1 tutorials to give feedback and advice. Also university facilities open from 8am to 10pm on weekdays and 9am to 5pm on weekend. There is a lot of equipment you can use in workshops, you can do your personal projects too. Uni have amazing student union, they can also be very helpful for your projects or your personal life. We also have PMU meetings twice per year, to provide students feedback. Course leaders and technicians always improving facilities. There is always something could be improved. But from my side I have at university everything I need. I always prefer to have more hours of sewing techniques.
The bad side is the location after a while there isn't too much to do. Also, the pricing for new houses are poor. But the university is very good. The tutors are very good. The student union is world class. And the course I am on is very good and I enjoy the modules I am doing.

The best features are the fantastic social life and the amazing opportunity for students to find themselves through sports, societies, and so on. Do something out of your comfort zone; it's usually something I advocate... Whether you commute locally or live away from home to study, diving head first into anything new is always something I would encourage. University is a terrific place to broaden yourself and do things you otherwise wouldn't get the chance to do with very little risk, so go and try things you wouldn't regularly do, you could be amazed of what you might find!

They were so helpful all through the admission process and catching up in class due to late start..
During my first year I felt very supported by my university, I had all access I needed to resources to help with my studies, from the library to SLA and even the lecturers were very approachable with any help I needed. I am currently in my second year and I’m not living on campus due to not being at the university for my second year and being away to do my pilot studies. In all honesty I do feel like the university forget about the pilot students in the second year, I don’t know who to contact for my course due to lecturers leaving and coming, I also find it difficult to contact the university about coming back for my third year as we’ve not got much support in coming back and looking for accommodation for when we come back. The student life within the university is excellent, there’s so much on offer sport/society wise, and it’s all free! (Added bonus) the student union is good too, good isn’t expensive and there’s always someone there to talk to when you’re on campus!

Love that university helps every time
Supportive staff, nice environment.
As students you are well supported, professors are always willing to help and the support for assignments and revision is good.
Through my time at bnu, studying fashion promotion and communication , i’ve made friends for life, many opportunity to get industry experience, learning new skills from photography to photoshop. I find the university facilities to be extremely up to date and useful! such as the mac suite, having the accessibility to mac computers and the newest adobe software, has been a great help with my studies and assignments, as well as constant support from tutors in the department. The Student’s Union are extremely engaging, there’s always an event taking place, opportunities to win vouchers, prizes, free food nights. As well as their weekly movie nights, game nights, and night outs. The SU also has a separate su bar, where you can study, enjoy music, order Starbucks, and even order food. Separate from their two other cafes in the uni. The library is a great place to study: booking out study rooms for group projects, independent study, as well as having access to hundreds of archived fashion magazines!! which is super cool to me!! One thing i’ve found really touching is a small gesture of kindness from the multi-faith chaplaincy, once a week, members from the chaplaincy, will offer hot drinks outside the library. Whilst asking how you are, i always walk away feel so touched, and happy. I really do enjoy my course, i chose it because i knew it was the direction in fashion i wanted to go into career wise, it’s been great, i’ve learnt so much, from creating a zine, to campaigns, creating concept stores. Having support and kindness from course leaders! With the course being a fashion course, throughout the year we have many opportunities to travel to london, whilst being able to use the free shuttle bus to hop onto the underground. It can still be quite costly, it would be nice if student were provided with some type of travel bursary or discount by the university, so we don’t miss out on future opportunities due to cost.

Course and facilities provided for studying are great! Students union is also one of my favourite things about uni. However commuting from my accommodation to university is quite long and demotivates me.
A lot of my sessions can be too long and boring so often lose interest. I’ve found in first year we’re blended with all the aviation students instead of my course content being tourism related.
Circuit laundry is very overpriced compared to other unis. Security is a bit too strict. Accommodation itself is a bit far from campus. Really nice room and kitchen though
