I couldn't have personally chosen a better place to study, the support has been at the top level and has exceeded my expectations completely.
Every time the staff is very helpful the tutor is very helpful if you don’t know something they explain to you what you need
The best part about this uni is how big and free the uni is, it doesn’t make you feel like studying and going to lectures is a chore. one thing i would improve is to add more parking
My course and the staff are both incredible! I’m beyond happy with their support and the experience of the course,. Time and time again the staff have got out of their way to create better experiences for us! The thing I don’t like at all is the Aylesbury campus where I’m based. The cafe closed and the campus is desolate and it’s not a great environment to be in.
Bucks New University has been a positive place to study overall. One of the best aspects is the supportive and approachable teaching staff, who are willing to help and provide guidance both academically and personally. The university has a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, which makes it easy to settle in and feel part of the community. Class sizes are generally smaller compared to larger universities, allowing for more interaction with lecturers and better access to support. The facilities are modern and well maintained, particularly the learning spaces and specialist resources linked to different courses, which helps enhance the overall learning experience. However, there are areas where the university could improve. Some students may find that certain facilities or services can become busy at peak times, which can limit access when they are most needed. Communication between departments could also be improved, as information about timetables, assessments, or changes is sometimes not as clear or consistent as it could be. Additionally, expanding social spaces and opportunities for student activities could further improve student life and help strengthen the sense of community. Overall, Bucks New University is a good place to study due to its supportive environment and quality teaching, but improvements to communication, facilities access, and student experience outside of lectures could make it even better.
It’s a very inclusive uni and it has a club for everyone I would 100% recommend
Lot of nice bathrooms but unclean Student support is good
The support we’ve received as a cohort from the university lecturers has been outstanding and invaluable for such a demanding course as Midwifery! Could not recommend BNU highly enough to anyone thinking about studying Midwifery!
A modern university with lots going on. As I'm an apprentice and I live in Northamptonshire I am unable to appreciate much of student life. It would be nice if there were more student fayres etc at the end of the week to accommodate different courses. The travel is tricky (around 2 hours each way) but the lack of parking is even trickier. Also, could the refectory please bring back Tato Tots because I know a lot of my course would really love that.
I’ve only been twice
The lecturers in the midwifery team are exceptional, I never expected before starting university how incredibly supportive, knowledgable and all around amazing the team would be. Every individual lecturer brings different strengths and personalities to the team, and I can confidently say I would feel comfortable and supported talking to any of them about any concerns/worries I have throughout the course. As a cohort we all feel the same, very grateful for them. The campus facilities need improvement, removing the only cafe in our campus without warning and no replacement options to purchase coffee/lunch/snacks throughout the day is a joke. Paying the same university fees as other campuses that have multiple food/beverage options feels very unfair. It feels our campus is neglected, and despite us raising concerns about the lack of facilities we seem to have had no response or compromise which is disappointing. Despite this I think BNU midwifery team is amazing, and I am still glad I made the decision to study at BNU.
I cannot sing the praises of BNU enough. The support and care given to students is incredible and i know I would not have made it this far without that. The lecturers are passionate about the subject and truly believe in each of their students. We received constructive feedback on assignments and mental health and wellbeing are prioritised as much as academic support. Aylesbury campus is lacking in facilities such as a decent library (although you can order books in from other sites) and a cafe (although the uni are finding ways around this such as a commuter space with tea and coffee)
Amazing support, flexible and individualised learning. An absolutely incredible place to study Midwifery. They truly work incredibly hard to support the development of students. So grateful to have studied here.
A great place to study and be supported by a team of amazing lecturers and support staff. I cannot fault it. The only downside is the travelling from home to campus and during placement and if something can be done then that would be great!!
Everything very well organised and new
Everything is good
The facilities such as the library and art studio make studying a lot more accessable and easier. The student life is also very good with many events and societies to get involved in and talk to more people. It could be improved by more student financial support, especially when it comes to mandatory trips outside of uni yet there's no cover for the cost of transportation meaning a lot of students miss out on things mandatory for their course.

First gen student
I am proud to be in this university. I have supported tutoring and I feel safe and comfortable.
It is a good place to study as there is plenty of places for students to access. It can be improved by considering how much money students have, like when there are trips or having to buy lots of resources for work it isn’t considered if the students can actually afford it or not which can make them struggle financially
4.4
Student support is really good for someone who struggles with mental health and the teachers are really good with the students.
I don’t like some of the people in my course but I really like the teachers
The WiFi is really bad at times and that is not the most ideal situation for a student who needs it for studies etc
