I really love how included the lectures are in students studies and the library tried to be as helpful as possible. I think if students had a time where they could do a one on one check up with a tutor every month that would be nice. Other than that I thoroughly enjoy the experience here.
The location is one of the best things about the university. Everything is very accessible and within reach. Thanks to the big deal I can save a lot of money and have a lot of fun at the same time
I was well supported by University in all aspects. No bad experience
The best aspects of my university are being able to study what I love with the support I need in order to succeed, and working with like minded people who are friendly and on the same career path as me. I think improvements are vastly overrated as the facilities we have are amazing, and the staff are friendly as well I think inclusiveness into student societies by the students could be improved on, though. There's little information about them really, even though they put out leaflets etc I found myself too unsure to put myself forward for anything with absolute understanding of what it is I'm getting into.

It is good place for getting high level of professional experience. I would improve financial help for student.

The best aspects of my university is that it is small so there’s lots of interactions and time for one on one’s. The lectures are very nice and offer a wonderful study program, with numerous places to study. I haven’t got any ways they can improve as of now, they seem to be great !
There is so much available for students. The Big Deal makes it so much easier to socialise without worrying about how much money you’re spending each week. Working for the uni is a great option for students and a great opportunity.
I love how supportive the school is and how accommodating they are
As a note, all things mentioned in this review were brought to the attention of CTTC and BNU and at the point of writing, nothing has been resolved or approached properly. So they will unlikely be corrected by the point of a new cohort starting. The facilities are scarce and in bad condition. The Studio is often used as a music venue in the evenings but the floor is then left sticky for the following days classes. Students have, on multiple occasions, knelt on broken glass during classes. The White Room's floor is a badly taped marley floor which is a tripping hazard. Students have been told for many years that it will be replaced in the summer but it is still in terrible condition. The main house is a nice black box theatre and has potential but the lights are all older than most of the students and haven't been PAT tested and are not rigged safely. This is also the case in the Studio. Also, when gigs take place, students will be released from their classes early, giving priority to the gig when the students are the ones paying tuition to be in their lectures. The campus is a single building near Old Street Station and often when you enter the building there is an overpowering smell. This will either be from the previous nights gigs or from sewage issues. There is only ever been one functioning toilet in the Male restroom for the whole time I attended the course. Student support is non-existent. Any student struggling with Mental Ill Health is just handed a pamphlet for an Employment Assistance programme we are not eligible for and sent on our way. I am a student with a Mental Health First Aid qualification and would often be left to deal with students who were in crisis or struggling with external traumas that were triggered in a rehearsal room. As a MHFA, that is what I trained for and am happy to help, but the faculty ignored suggestions to train staff in this field so they know how to approach, listen, give support and encourage support from others while signposting where students can get proper help and assistance. Students with dyslexia or other learning impairments are often not supported fully by lecturers in classes. Often they will just be given scripts printed on blue paper but with no other accommodations being made. It should be noted that the students union at CTTC is non existent, hence the low score. However, the BNU Students Union has been helpful in advocating for a fellow students and my complaint against CTTC but Tim Gill, the principal has been incredibly rude and dismissive towards students raising concerns.

First gen student
I am very pleased to choose university of New Buckinghamshire as my first and only choice as the university is known for its friendly and knowledgable teaching style. Also, I am able to relate with the lectures and get the supports which I need to guild me through my assignments/ essays as a mental health student nurse. Placement location at its academic support has been the best. Finally, the hardship and bursary funds which I received last year did help me to continue my course without dropping out! As I am currently a single parent studying to create a difference in my community.


Top Tier Facilities to help with education including the flight simulator, the library, and many more It could be improved by more financial support such as more bursaries and scholarships to help low-income students better and comfortably forward their education.
The best aspect of the course is the opportunities it affords; it accommodates the student's schedule, not only assisting them in obtaining their PPLs and ATPLs, but also allowing them to explore the real world of piloting and equipping them with knowledge of Airport ground operations, the structure of the air transport industry, Air safety, and security, etc. Providing a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the aviation industry. To reduce the financial burden associated with the course, more financial aid and internship opportunities could be added.
Great accommodation, Great security. 100 percent Satisfactory.
