I love everything I learned so far. When you are serious and you show interest the lectures are encouraging you even more to improve further your knowledge
Excellent place to study, plenty of areas for self directed study & great facilities. Only thing I would change would be parking as we have to park and walk across town
The worst aspect of my uni experience is the overall demand on my course, meaning my course takes up all my time. I have had to drop my extra activities and limit work to get by, also means I haven’t really experienced the uni party life that’s offered. The best is that even with the course taking up my whole life it’s a great course with fantastic facilities that is miles better than other uni’s. The main reason I picked bucks was because of this but I do find my self burnt out a lot from this, as I compare my friends course and uni’s to mine and see the spare time they have. I feel the course could be even superior if the time and classes where used more effectively within the allocated time, and the briefs set being less extreme with students pushing the limits not the teachers pushing us. Because I am second year the independence has increased but I still work 10 to 6 Monday to Friday to meet expectations, with uni life this would clash badly as I had to give up basketball as they would plan around the times all students schedule classes where over. However with my course this is where the teacher says their bit and we work after or start a time consuming idea. This would create a scenario where I would come in 10 to 5pm go home come back for 6pm ish for basketball then return home at 12 pm and then have a long day sewing after. To conclude I feel like working with the older students to limit the quantity need for submission could really help fashion design students get back some of their life to enjoy again .
The campus feels safe and has lots of areas to study and the course leaders and lecturers are so helpful and supportive.

First gen student
High Wycombe is not a very nice area but the University makes up for this. I feel safe in the uni.
Just a good experience
The internal leadership opportunities are amazing experiences. Some lectures are not engaging enough
My experience on the campus has been great
I really was impressed with how the campus is and the facilities provided. I just wish there was a better induction for nursing associate students that are doing the apprenticeship route
Nice facilities, very helpful in everything that you need whilst studying, only worst bit is no parking for students..
I think overall the his uni is a great uni to study at, there is great funding for the creative arts which is rare to come by in uni. I really appreciate that. However even though though it is great I think there is room to improve through the student union in the terms of job opportunities as I have heard there are times where the employers especially with the student ambassadors were not efficient with their responses leading to my friend to be underpaid and not knowing what to do in her role. So I believe that is the only downside of the student union, that they have not been efficient in communicating in some aspects. Everything else is that it’s a very open university, the lecturers are kind and take the time to not only get to know you but to also see how you learn and always ready to help and support you, especially, Brett, Peter, Dobs and Ger so I’m very happy with the terms of how the lectures treat their students with such kindness and respect. It is very clean and organised with a lot of social spaces which make it easier for us to meet with our friends and get work done so it’s excellent with social interaction and making sure the environment is work friendly so it is easier to study and try and achieve the best that we can achieve. And the uni is very good at accepting feedback and implementing that feedback to make a positive change which I really do appreciate. Everyone here puts time and effort into the building and people who go there and it really shows and I’m very pleased with it overall.
I joined BNU because of the facilities avaliable for my course. I am most interested in video editing and they have several editing suites available for me to use.
It’s cool bro
I’ve enjoyed my modules and but my timetable has been difficult to work around.

I really like the new facilities at the university. I feel like they could maybe make the student union are a bit bigger
