Sort:Latest reviewsIt is so freezing in the Uxbridge uni, that students are wearing winter coats in class, bringing scarfs and blankets just to keep warm. Even in winter there is air conditioning on, we are told it is "automatically" controlled by the other campus and there is nothing they can do. The uni looks like an office and not a uni. We have a tiny canteen in which you can't even find a space to sit. Our "cafe" is staffed with 1 person, you have to que and wait for a drink or food for 20mins. The library is half empty. You have to request books to be brought from the other campus or go to collect at the other campus. On the plus side, the lecturers and module material is good. There is access to student support and additional applications, websites etc. My biggest suggestion for improvement is sort the heating out. It is hard to learn whilst fighting discomfort from being so cold.
Better facilities on a Friday would be appreciated.
The best part of my uni experience has been the friendly, supportive tutors who are always willing to help, while the toughest moments mostly came from balancing deadlines and workload.
The friendliness of everyone within societies, and how lovely every staff member is, makes everything feel easier to just be myself and act amazing, however I would live to see some better water fountains and more seating

Quite a supportive university with good lecturers, student union and the student learning association. I have enjoyed my studying there. The campus in Uxbridge where we are based is outdated and old and the look and feel of the campus is poor. Compared to the two other campuses, Uxbridge appears to be the "forgotten child" and does not have new facilities or even smart boards, at least not on the ground or first floors. The location is not practical as lots of my cohort including myself live far away and have to spend at least 2 hours travelling every day. It can also at times feel unsafe and the nearest public car park is disgusting, vandalised and feels generally unsafe, at all times. Overall my university experience has been positive and i am grateful for being able to study there and earn my degree.
Lecturers are very quick and helpful with any questions you have, even when emailing rather than asking in person. Prices at the Lounge are great for students, even on nights out in the Venue. Only thing I could think of improving would be theming of certain events and how they go about them. Otherwise, education wise lectures are useful and the lecturers are very helpful.
Everything about the uni is fantastic. Their support for students is second to none. The facilities are incredible. The quality of teaching is so worth the £30,000+ I'm going to pay for my course. The only gripe I have is that the events put on by the SU don't seem to have a lot of variety. It's mainly always some form of clubbing and drinking which is fine for people who drink but I'm sober and so I don't always feel like I'm around like-minded people at those events which has made it hard to make a proper friendship groups outside of my flatmates and course mates.
I think student intersection is needed more games and events to host up for students to interact with each other.
The best: The support you get from the teachers is amazing and also the BIG DEAL!!! Everything is basically free sports etc and we get free food The worst: The university is small and elevators don’t work and just more course options would be nice and a bigger sports hall
As a student, I believe the UK is a fantastic place to study because of its high-quality education, multicultural environment, and strong focus on practical learning. At Buckinghamshire New University, the BSc (Hons) International Business Studies programme offers a great balance of academic knowledge and real-world business insights, which helps me develop the skills needed for a global career. I also appreciate the supportive teaching staff and the opportunities for personal and professional growth. However, I feel the student experience could be further improved by offering more internship opportunities, expanding financial support options for international students, and providing more affordable accommodation. Overall, studying in the UK has been a rewarding experience that has broadened my perspective and strengthened my career ambitions.
It has everything I need. The library is very helpful and the staff are great. The overall look is lovely but I feel that the gateway building (when you first walk in) needs improvement.

I think as the uni isn’t massive it feels safe and intimate , this helps with the anxiety with going to university. The ares that you can sit and do work are so good, with comfy seats and are not over crowded so you can always find somewhere to sit. Overall the uni is amazing! The one thing I would want changed is more vending machines.
I love my course- the lecturers, Emma, Chloe, and Vic are incredible and care so much about their skills and how they deliver them. I love the drag nights at the venue- keep them coming!!! I think the lecturers- especially chloe for SFX- could use another technician to help as we have a large class and she hardly has a minute to breathe the whole day, which results in people making silly mistakes , wasting resources and wasting time.

The best part about my university experience is the vast amount of knowledge I now have despite only being on my course for 2 months. I have gained a lot of experience within my subject that will be vital for future work. I feel like my university could improve on some areas within the building as only the main wing/ building has enough seats and tables where you can easily socialise in big groups whereas the other wings don’t have many communal areas.
Long journey
The tutors are very supportive both academically and personally through a personal tutor who you are allocated which is usually the module lead. The SLA are great and nothing is too much trouble. The library could do with more books on specific subjects.
Teachers are approachable and supportive.
The Students Union is amazing - they sort issues as soon as they start!
The uni is so helpful and has helped me settle in so well and I feel so welcome
